40S&W, I'll leave it at that.

So, the FBI decided that they had a bunch of weak assed agents that could not score well with a .40 and dropped down to 9mm to improve training stats? Then, a bunch of lemmings jumped up and declared that they are weak too and dumped .40 for 9mm, making some great deals on guns for folks that don’t have limp wrists?

Dang Cookie, you really threw the gauntlet down.

I keeed, I keeed...

Just calling it how I see it. I still need to try a steel framed 40. And a 10mm.

The k40 made it into the carry rotation. It's a pretty sick shooting little pistol. 7+1 and it disappears iwb. I didn't think I'd like it as much as I do.

Great now you offended the 9MM crowd they are going to jump in and start telling us how great 9MM is now that the FBI declaration that no difference in 9MM,.357 SiG,.40 S&W, .45 and 10MM.

Not meaning to offend. Just pulling the chain a bit for those sensitive folks. Lord knows that .40 fans have been the butt of jokes before.

Now that I have a 4006, I find myself wanting a 1006 to go with it.

Do it!

Yes you need a 10mm !

Never know when a rabid Bigfoot might attack you!

If you don't own the holy trilogy of Glock 40's , you aren't really livin', brothers !

Interesting... so question.

What is the ultimate 40 s&w platform.

Does it differ from 9mm? I.e.(a m&p 40 is terrible even though the m&p 9 is great but the opposite is true for glocks)

That's easy. The SW Shorty40...

or maybe a PC 4006 with 5" barrel.

I don't know if it's the ultimate, but I really like my Sig 226 in .40 !

mcapo to the rescue !

The Performance Center of Smith & Wesson made a few pretty spectacular examples from 3rd Gens. They are pretty awesome (and expensive). ​CM is HUGE fan!

Millennials simply can’t handle more than a nine. Of course when dealing with the “everyone deserves a trophy” generation, you can’t make that seem like a bad thing.

Thank you! This explains everything!

I was wondering why the anemic 9mm was becoming so popular again, and now I know.

 

[BigRed]

A .40 is nice.

A 10 is better.

The CZ SP01 in .40 is a contender. But, the 4006 sure does show promise.
