I think they are still great. They go for like 25 cents now a round. Ammo and guns for them are everywhere. 180 grain are subsonic and perfect for suppressors. Having a blast with my USP in 40 cal.
>>65588279The mighty milimeter has always been it bro. Fruitful ammo stocks during the coof, naturally subsonic .40 as you mention and 10mm is so powerful it can cause proximal butthurt.
>>6558827940 is based and im gonna keep carrying it
This alsonclearly shows the .40/10mm noticeably bigger than the 9mm while being nesr identical to the .45The best of both large bore and high capacity.
Inb4 9mm impotent rage
>>65588472Unfortunately the properties of human flesh renders the advantages of .40Short and Weak to be quite miniscule in comparison to the trade offs of using it over 9MM. Availability and the wide offering of guns chambered in the round being one of them.>>65588473.45 ACP + .30-06/.308Can't name a better combo
>>65588481No guns huh? Sad many such cases. Not nice viola cases like this though.
>>65588279I like 40. Glock and beretta.
>>65588279I hated my USP 40 but I'm still a strong advocate for 40, especially if you live somewhere where everyone travels by car everywhere and the likelihood of you getting into a shooting involving a car is very likely
>>65588515G22/G23,Whateve happened there.
>>65588522Why did you hate it? I sometimes wonder 'what if' I went with a USP and not my Baby Eagle. I chose Glonk as my 10mm, G40 naturally.
It exists.
>>65588530Hate is a strong word, but it's trigger is pretty bad and it just overall feels cheaper than its hyped up to be. Also the only natively compatible light is the TLR-3. Mag release is really nice though, I like the paddle. Also the decocker safety, while placed in an imperfect position, is really nice to allow you to carry either cocked and locked, decocked, or decocked with the safety on. I like having options and the V1 trigger gives you all of them
>>65588528
>>65588279I open carry my thick P-series P94 .40, load it with +p. Simple as.
>>65588528Discontinued, lol.
>>65588279
I have USPs in .40 and .45, I love shooting them when I can
>>65588935Is it? Or is it just a case that Gen6 is just 9mm for now?
>>65588933Checked, are those Gargoyle Outriders? I used to have a pair and lost them, and now they're defunct. Sad af
>>65589844they were already being phased out before the whole genV stuff happened the 357s were discontinued in 2024 and the 40s were on the way out.
>>65588279>>65588279it will still be around like 25 and 32 acp. pick up cheap models if you can. Also .40 die hards are just salty contrarians currently. Be honest.
>>65588279It's breddy good. I have a few .40 guns and it really got me by during the Obama panic buying eras. It was always on the shelf when nothing else was and I got pretty well used to it. The only downside is they hold 1 or 2 fewer rounds than 9mm, but it's not a big deal.
>>65589892CHAD contrarians.Ardent 10MM shill too.
>>65588891That sounds fair. I like the decocker safety on mine and the USP was like $200 more at the time so i went with the Baby Eagle. I really want a 1911 in 10mm, threaded barrel preferably.
>>65588933Based p series enjoyer.
>>65589826>using a girls' gun
.40 S&W and .45 ACP are the two best semiauto handgun calibers available
>No mention of barrel swapping for .357 SIG
Suppressed USPs are just too sexy bros.
>>65589889How did the V series reverse their decision when they were already phasing them out?
Its fine. Pistol ammo is basically all the same shit. Do what makes you happy. The differences won't matter unless you are trying to shoot targets at 100m or more.
>>65590302Most girls can barely handle 9mmThere's only a few girls that can handle .40And the only girl I really fell in love with was one of them
>>65588279Is the taurus th series a viable poor man's USP? How durable are they?
>>65590515>taurus th seriesDoes not look like it at all? Only thing it follows for the USP is that it is hammer fired. Doesn't even come with a threaded barrel anywhere so it is kinda a dude.
>>65590481But some pistols, when you put an extra cylinder on the end of them, goes quiet with a thud. 40 180 grain is subsonic and cheaper then subsonic 9mm
>>65590481>pistol ammo is basically the samePeak midwittery.
>>65590302AND? What's the problem?
new kuna in .40
>>65589844.40 has been slowly fading from the market for a long time now, it's part of why there's certain benefits for true .40 fanboys to reap as others are abandoning it, like ammo drought resistance, or very cheap leftover pistols.I never loved .40, but it literally works fine, and now has certain economic benefits, it's a good way to score a nice spare pistol with a small stockpile of reserve ammo. If you get a metal framed .40 like a Ruger, Beretta, or Hi-Power, then the recoil is outright mild, too.
>>65590568For modern service pistols it's true, make a good hit with good ammo, and it's gonna do pretty much the same job, the margins really aren't that big on this matter. Platt wouldn't have gone down appreciably faster if they had 10mm pistols, he would still have time to kill 6 FBI agents, and injured 2 more.
>>65588279I like my 40 quite a bit. I got it for a steal too which I promptly spent replacing the half dozen 10 rounders it came with for standard caps. I can use all the same holsters and accessories as my 9, ammo is plentiful & pretty cheap, has just enough kick to feel know you're shooting something.
>>65589883They are Gatorz Skyhooks, they have minor impact resistance and polarized.>>65590097It's crazy Ruger is discontinuing a bunch of guns but not bringing these guns back. Everyone in this thread that likes .40 is a chad with a good jawline.
>>65590381Sir, this is a .40 caliber thread..357 homo sig is not welcome here.
>>65588530>buying a polymer framed jericho/beaglegrim>>65588528I still carry my G23 in the winter. Load it up with a G22 mag with a grip extender in a KingTuk and she's thicc & comfy as all things should be.
>>65590383>>65588279I just got threaded barrel and rsa for my USP 40. Which can should I get? I was thinking osprey 45 so I don’t have to change my sights. What do?
>>65588279Saw a used .40 USPC in the shop for about $700 a few years back. Always wonder how big a mistake it was not grabbing it when I had the chance
>>65591395I have the 45 not 40, but I've heard good things about the Osprey. I went Obsidian 45.
>>65591395I recommend the mojave 45 if you got the chance. A dedicated 40 can is going to be impossible to find.I would get the egw dovetail reddot adapter. Alot of people don't trust dovetails, but put a thin layer of threadlocker in the joints and it will stay.
>>65591395osprey 45 is expensive for a can that is very mediocre for suppressing sound. I heard alot of mixed reviews for it. I would just get a well reviewed 45 cal can.
>>65588279I don't care about the price, just the versatility and performance. 40 S&W is a good round. In fact, ALL ammo on the market right now is pretty good. It's just about what you're using it for.I use 44 Special myself.>>65588473Is the 380 smiling?

>>65590381>>65590970is 357 sig still a thing? I heard it is good, but it might be people just justifying their purchase
>>65588279180s are subsonic?
>>65593851yep, don't spread that info around yet. I am buying a shitton of them cheap
>>65591724English, you brainrotted terminally online fuck
>Boomer I know mad the gunshop gave him the Pawnstars treatment when he tried to sell off an old Sig in .40>keeps insisting that my 10mm Autos are next in line to be "obsolete"
>>65588461>Fruitful ammo stocks during the coofHasn't been relevant since the coof. There was a big stockpile of it sitting around in 2020 because law enforcement was phasing it out, sure, but consumption has outpaced that stockpile and production has significantly wound down on .40 S&W since the 2010s.
>>65594183Don't buy my ammo faggit.Stick to your little 9mm.
I have a truckload of 40. Feels good man.
>>65594226I'm currently burning down my cheap covid era reman .40 as I stack 10mm.
>>65594183I am still buying 40 sw 180 gr for 25 cents a round... Still beats the cheapest subsonic 9mm I can find for 30 cents.
>>65590302so?
>>65594303Hell yeah
> Glock shits the bed with 40 cal barrels> Everyonewow i guess 40 can damage barrels.IT WAS ONLY GLOCK. FUCK GLOCKS MAN. RUINED AN ENTIRE REPUTATION OF A BULLET CAUSE THEIR AUTISTIC AUSTRIANS COULDN'T MAKE A GUN BARREL.
>>65597879People act like .40 destroys your gun and will only last a few hundred rounds vs 9mm lasting tens of thousands when both last very long if the gun isnt a piece of shit. They also act like the recoil difference between .40 and 9 is astronomical rather than very slight, and with +p and +p+ basically non existant
>>65597890>.40 destroys your gun in a fraction of the time and has 10 times the recoil as 9mm>it also is weaker than 9mm in terminal effectMake it make sense.
>>65598086All powder no bullet tech
>>65597890>the recoil difference Recoil impulse. aka velocity+force of recoilThat's the difference. .40 pistols need to be designed for it, you can't just slap it into an older 9 mm handgun
