Who out there among you still carries a .40? I have been fondly remembering my G23 lately, and kind of want another one. One would think the caliber is going the way of the dodo bird

So would the .40 folks prefer a .44 Mag?

Personally, I don't want to stand in front of a 9mm or a .40

I realize that's not a fair standard to judge calibers, but I carry a 9mm and don't think more bullet is necessary. Thankfully, I've never had to find out if 9mm is insufficient.

Who the fuck is gonna admit to still carrying a .40? I'll never get another one mainly because they're damn near impossible to sell or trade with.

Never cared for it...I like the idea of .40 but not the actual execution

I used to. Had a G22 with a .357 sig barrel. I really preferred the .357 to the 40, but ended up selling it all and getting out of .40. It's just not as much fun to shoot at the range, and that's what I'm doing 99% of the time.

I am now officially 100% divested in 40SW. That being said, if I see another nice USP 40 police trade for $350, I'm going to reinvest.

If I recall correctly, don't you love the .280?

You could post a fucking Sako 85 Finnbear in 7mm Rem Mag and a Savage Axis in 308 on ODT for the same price, and 99% would take the Savage
I really like any 06' based cartridges.
