Why does everyone shit on .40S&W? Not a fanboy, just curious

>>30744870
Because they have latent homosexual tendencies.

>stopping power of 9mm
>capacity of .45
>more expensive than both
what's not to love?

>>30744870
Lacks the size/expansion of .45 ACP
Lacks the capacity and velocity of 9mm
Has more recoil than both
Known for a short service life/glocknading with 9mm frames
And at the end of the days its just a 10mm case that has been shortened

I own handguns in 9mm, .40 S&W, and .45 Auto. It is nice to have a selection of handguns in the common calibers for when there is a run on ammunition. I have plenty put away but its nice knowing I'll always have a choice on something. I've noticed that even during the worst panics .40S&W tends to still be available.

>more expensive than bot
doh ho ho ho!

A compromise between 45acp and 9mm that looks good on paper but doesn't feel right in a lot of people's hands

>Mfw everyone is scrambling for the last few boxes of .45, 9mm, and .22 at 300% the price when shit hits the fan.

Meanwhile I'm buying .40 S&W at a markdown cause they can't dump that shit and I bought a M&P .40 as my carry gun

It is literally the same cartridge as 9mm+P with less capacity and more expensive ammo

Like>>30745123 said, they can barely give the shit away, so you can actually get some good deals on it. It's also panic buy proof. All the good brands of 9mm have been gone on online sites for two months, but .40 is easy to find online and in stores.

>A compromise between 45acp and 9mm
no, it was a compromise on 10mm because the desk jockeys and females at the FBI couldn't handle 10mm.

>>30745123

Reason why I bought my Glock 22. It was on sale at the time and I figured it wouldn't hurt to have a .40 just in case.

It's not 10mm auto. The last word in automatic pistol cartridges.

In fact, it's a poor imitation born of political correctness and pandering.

This lol. Stopping power is such a meme.

Personally I run only downloaded .22 Short.

Not true anymore. Lately I've sometimes been buying 50 round boxes of brass .40 for $10.99-13.99

Cheaper than .45 and in line with 9mm costs.
