Pretty darn close if you roll your own.What Big Tanker said. Plus...there's a fad factor involved. A lot of people like to buy what they see other people buy, what they see on TV, what LEOs and armed forces carry. Can't deny that the 9mm is cheaper to shoot.
The .40 is a dead, obsolete caliber.
Just kidding.
With the advancements in bullet technology, the 9mm does everything the .40 does but with less recoil, meaning faster follow up shots, higher capacity and cheaper on the tax payers.
I'm [STRIKE]glad[/STRIKE] lucky I never bought into the hype. I'm happy I ran .45ACP as long as I did, happier now running 9mm.
/thread.
(well, except my Colt45 and Olde English 1800 )
Seems like there are a ton of LE trade-in .40cals on the market cheap. Many departments switching from .40 back to 9mm and/or .45 ACP. Am I missing something?
Agreed. This sums up my feelings on the caliber debate.I have all 3. 9mm/40/45
Just because I can.
No, you are not missing anything.
.40s need to get into a hot movie or more rap songs and then they will be popular again.
