I'm with you on this one, I like .40 and if people want to sell them cheap, I will buy them all day longI think so
and I'm going to buy a lot of them
I'm not sure of the reasons but these things seem to run in cycles. I like .40's and I don't think they are going to disappear but the 9 is the new hotness right now.
Daaaannnggg coming in hot!
LoL. Short answer is no they are not going down in value. Down in demand compared to 9mm yes, down in value not necessarily. Lots of guys out there shooting them still, lots of us still carrying them. I rarely see a glock 23 sell for less than a glock 19. Beretta 96's hang in there with their smaller 92 brothers. If anything, I sell 40sw faster than comparable 9mm because the market is saturated with cheap new wonder 9's. The 40 has a steady following and some really gnarly loads that make it a ton of fun to shoot. I regularly get bulk fmj for 20 cents a round making it pretty competitive with 9mm for those who shop around.
I truly believe the reason you see so many underpriced 40's is from the leo trade in market. Lots of clapped out glock 22's and sigs floating around for cheap, but a comparable 9mm as clapped out would carry a nearly identical price.
A local gun shop stopped taking any 40's in trade recently, he's got too many used ones in the case to sell.
I go in once in awhile to see what the prices have gotten down to. They are dropping but not to the bargain basement yet.
stopping power
I would hope so . . and does anybody know where to get a CZ P-06?
