Is .40 s&w the most proven nogstopper for handguns?>decades of highly effective use by law enforcement specifically against this demographic>adoption of it perfectly coincided with the rise of ghetto rap hood culture, giving the ultimate test target for ballistics refinement to occur>the second FBI and everyone else jumped to 9mm they begin magdumping and not killing>literally filters wristlets and women>easily shootable for anyone who isnt one of the above>can be pushed in non gay pistols (read: not glock) to mid-high range 10mm levels with handloads, or down to the watered down late FBI cope levels both of which perform phenomenally>police trade ins readily available for peanuts>ammo not crazy expensive, cheaper than fuddy five still and hollow points on par with 9mm prices>one of the best fohty rounds, the 180 grain winchester ranger t series, can be had for very reasonable prices in boxes of 50 and can both your training and defensive ammoSkip the 9mm race to the bottom, choose a premium round and dont look back
I don't care, man. if you want to use .40, then use .40. it doesn't matter.
I already have enough calibers of handguns to keep stocked I don't wanna add 40 to the list for minimal gains
