It's ideally suited for subcompact hand guns and that is all. The slightly greater mass helps make up for the loss of muzzle velocity when fired from a sub 3.5 inch barrel.

.40 s&w has got greater muzzle energy than .45 acp which means it's more powerful. Whether or not it's a better round due to this fact is up for debate.

.40 is only better than 9mm if
>you have to use FMJ only
>10mm isn't available/allowed

And even then, that really only makes a difference if you're using strictly full-size pistols with close to or as much capacity as a 9mm full-size, so extensions are necessary. Then and only then would .40 be more useful than 9mm.

Otherwise:
>9mm is fine
>.357 SIG for more punch than 9x19
>.45 for extra punch at close range
>10mm for full power

Always remember when it comes to calibers:
>shot placement is king
>capacity = more potential shots = more chances of vital shots
>a vital shot with a .22 will kill you faster than a non-vital shot with a .44

My first gun was a .40 because I honestly didn't know what the difference was. This was about 6 years ago at what seemed to be the height of .40 hate. I honestly felt like I dun goof'd having not paid more attention to the caliber wars and was convinced that all the memes were true. Eventually I started doing my own fact-based research and found that the .40 wasn't as bad as memes would have one believe. Comparing typical FMJ loads, you're getting near the power of .45 ACP, but more round capacity and velocity. Compared to 9mm, you're getting roughly 25-30% more power. JHP rounds in .40 also expand more reliably than 9mm. I got around to shooting 9mm and .45 guns and found that the "snappy" recoil is blown way out of proportion with felt recoil being similar to .45. 9mm was definitely softer, but there's no reason to believe that somebody can't train themselves to overcome such a small hurdle. And all the legends about .40 blowing up guns is comes from handloaders shooting over pressure rounds with early Glocks.

When you start looking at the facts instead of parroting memes, it's pretty clear to understand why the .40 became so popular and earned its place as one of the top 3 pistol cartridges.

According to pretty much every test and statistic, 9mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP, and .357 SIG incapacitate with the same efficacy. You need to get to at least hot 10mm or hot .375 Magnum to produce appreciably better results.

The problem is that .22lr will not actually punch into vital areas, niggers. Energy is a thing. Penetration through bone is a thing. Rounds tumbling, yawing, expanding, and fragmenting are all also things. Here's the quick rundown, in order from best to worst:

Many of you are missing a big point here.

Wear on your guns. Studies have been done showing the .40 guns wear out sooner than 9mm because of the loads and size of the gun. I honestly would rather have a longer lasting gun with more ammo per mag.

If you're shooting enough to wear out your gun, regardless of what caliber it's in, you can afford to perform the requisite preventive maintenance and/or just buy a new gun.
>>
>>33912048
Proper care is easy. Spare parts become a problem over time. There is many other situations where a longer lasting firearm is more useful. Like SHTF, break down in trade, discontinued series or even you are on the run.

Buying a new gun isnt always the best choice. There are lemons out there. I like my older guns. They can be trusted not to explode, FTE to FTF. Why risk my life on a new gun? Not saying your option isnt bad, just pointing out it could have a bad end.

You sound like a noguns.

Even with +p .45 wouldn't have more penetration then .40 it'll give .45 way more awesome expansion but it'll lack even more penetration then regular .45


Jesus Christ a lot of fucking no,guns talking shit they have no idea bout.

.40 cal is better especially in jhp
Since it'll give deep penetration while still expanding.

>Who would buy .40 S&W over 9mm?

A .40 is ideal if you want:
1) Steel
2) Compact and slim frame
3) Best JHP performance

A compact full-steel handgun with a smaller frame than a .45 with a higher capacity than a .45 and better combined expansion/penetration than a 9mm for the same frame.

A full-frame handgun can get better performance with 45 +p load while having more manageable recoil

A 9-mm is a better option for polymer frame or a subcompact for the lighter recoil at slightly reduced expansion/penetration even with +P loads.

TL;DR
Conditional CCW ideal
>>
>>33906937
>10mm

10mm was a mistake
It should have been a necked cartridge for better managed recoil
40 SW was a mistake
It should have been a necked cartridge... AKA it should have been 357 SIG

Why did 357 have to be such a market failure
It does everything 40 SW tried to do but better

>Why did 357 have to be such a market failure

Mostly because it was expensive mainly. And even gun nuts would rather not have to reload necked cartridges. The full-power stuff that makes it worth it is even more expensive. Also the fact that it's a novelty cartridge means that there is little variety in choice of gun to shoot it with and of that set of choices, if you don't want a Glock, you have to be prepared to drop some serious dosh for a good gun that isn't going to quickly develop cracks on the slide.

Realistically, you're better off just buying a decent gun that shoots one of the top 3 and spending the rest on ammo.

Compared to 9mm and .40 at the time, it was. It was also more expensive than the .45 ACP, but only slightly. Still holds true to this day.

A .40 is pushing a heavier bullet at roughly the same speed as a 9mm. Seems pretty good to me, and you only lose 1 or 2 rounds in a mag.

It's a shortened version of 10mm Auto, hence the pejorative ".40 Short & Weak", but it still clocks in at around 180 power factor even with mild factory loads (for comparison, 9mm is typically loaded to 135-150, while .357 Magnum is more like 185 for duty loads)

Yes i actually do famalam. In common parlance power refers to the energy of a round. Not only is this common knowledge but it was specified as being the topic of discussion earlier. .40 does not have more energy than +p .45

>>33915176
Joules imparted are only part of the equation in terms of efficacy in wounding, the .40 is faster and bringing up buffalo bore meme rounds you may as well throw the whole damn thing out and settle with 10mm for the amount of recoil/ expansion because you can get that moving a hell of a lot faster with heavier bullets or simply down load it and wind up with similar .40 ballistics.

I was going for more common, modern defensive handgun cartridge. If anything, I would have said .38 Super if not .357 SIG.

It's sad that .40 was supposed to be all "no compromise" but in reality it's lame and only useful for .357 SIG due to the Sig's diet .357 Mag ballistics in an automatic. I can justify using .357 SIG, but .40 is just as dumb as .380 and .22 short.

We aren't talking about wounding, tard. we're talking about power. You're literally butting into an argument about one subject and trying to make it into an argument about something else. If i meant to say that .45 creates larger wound volumes per round than .40 then i would have said that.

Listen here faggot no guns I'm the original guy you replied too.

.45 doesn't have more,power it has momentom since it's a bigger round. Power doesn't mean shit if it can barely penetrates the targets heart or major organs.

44. Magnum has more fucking power then .45 auto not just cause of power but because it can give deep,penetration.

I sold my glock 30s and bought a glock 19 not beauce recoil but becuase .45 doesn't have the penetration I'm looking for. It's outdated as shit.


For dat reason im going to carry a glock 22

.40 cal stopping power WITH penetration .45 can't give with 15+1 rounds on tap.


Once again .40 cal is the best shitty round of the 3 becuase it gives more penetration then 9mm while still giving more expansion. And way better then .45 cause it has more,penetration while,still giving more expansion.

And it has a higher cap then .45

12+1 15+1 is still high cap.

Recoil ain't shit if you shoot fullsize and lift wrights and don't dress like a tight clothes wearing faggot.

That's what people willfully ignore to justify whatever meme round they want to keep on a pedestal. If power was really all that mattered, going with a revolver opens up a whole world of magnum rounds that totally eclipse automatic cartridges.

Power is useless for anything besides doing work which is what causes wounding in the first place. Without energy a bullet is nothing but a lump of ductile(typically) metal sitting stationary somewhere. you can try to argue semantics with me but even drunk and tired Im probably better at it.

Looks like I'm going to humor your whole "butt into an argument clearly talking about which loading has more energy than the other and try to turn it into an argument about penetration and expansion" ploy though. can't wait for the part where you start ignoring data and devolve into claiming you're still right.

Easily obtainable loadings(Ranger T and HST) offer more expansion than any .40 loadings meeting FBI minimal requirements. Lower expanding rounds such as hornady Critical Duty offer almost identical penetration and expansion as such brands in .40. Oh and i never said anything about ball ammo. perhaps that's just the direction you're going to try to hamhandedly steer this discussion towards next...

>Literally no modern .40 made in the last 15+ years are 9mm conversions anymore.

Then why the fuck does everything think that if they buy a 40 it will have worse recoil than both a 45 and a 9mm while cracking their frame and still doing fuckall penetration/expansion

Can't I just throw a better recoil spring on one of the 9mm converts?

Memes and poor designs on some previous guns with weaker springs.

And the problems with the conversions of yore were chamber support from poorly fitted chambers that caused cases to rupture and blow up the guns and crack the frames.
Not a problem anymore.

>.45 doesnt have more power....

Yes it does. i can provide links to commercially available .45 ACP +P loadings with ~600 ft-lbs of energy. .40 tops out around 530.

>Blah blah blah .45 bad .44 mag better

Literally not even anything to do with whether .40 or .45 has more energy. starting to think you're one of those types who just cant admit they're wrong and desperately tries to change subjects.

>blah blah blah bitching about what he carries and making claims about which combat caliber is best

KEK. still nothing i was talking about, jesus im starting to think you might actually be somewhere on the spectrum

>blah blah blah u r faggit

Wow, such argument, really amazed me with your logic and all. you should debate for a living.
>>
>>33915705


Show me a .45 round with more power them .40 cal WHILE STILL giving the penetration that .40 cal and 9mm can give.

your forgetting that the power means shit,if it cant hit a major organ . It BARELY meets the FBI minimum in gel test. I shot a red brick twice with .45 fmj and it only scratched the surface not even a dent.

I'lll respond tommrow when I wake up.

>>33915759
Yea, im not going to go ahead and start examining the FT-lbs of every .45 acp cartridge with gelatin testing available to prove something i wasnt even talking about in the first place.

Power means shit in general and i never said anything different.

Plenty of .45 loadings make 12+" of penetration. HST, Ranger T, Crittical duty, critical defense, gold dots, and several others do for example. some of these are even in the 14-16" goldilocks zone some people prefer.

You saying that .45 FMJ wont even dent a brick is both anecdotal and hilarious. also, in case you haven't noticed, people aren't made of those anyways.

You're just butt devastated that .45 offers loadings with more energy than any .40 loading. others with more expansion, and still others with comparable expansion and penetration. As soon as i prove any of these points you'll immediately transition to some more obscure and unrelated argument.

>>33915816
>even arbitrarily defining what weight the other anon should use

Just stop. Next you'll be saying anything with more energy than a same weight .40 round has to be excluded too.

>>33910947
.25 and .22 are perfectly legal to carry in TX, there was a .32 minimum to qualify with, but I think that's been removed.

>>33915848

No it doesn't it barely passes, even worse gelatin still isn't compared to human flesh you would still have to subtract the inches when hitting human flesh compared to gel.

Look at lucky gunners gel test .45 barely passes compare to 9mm or .40 cal

I shot a brick twice with .45 at close range and didn't crack.

I shot another Brock twice with 9mm and behold it cracked in half. These were full brooks with no holes in the,

Face it .45 is outdated compare to 9mm and .40

It doesn't have any energy compare to.40

I'm glad I sold my glock 30s as much as I hate to say this I bought the .45 is bigger then .40 so it's better then the rest meme. Prove it like you sed you would.


>>33915890

Why use anything but what the original designer designed the caliber to be.

Just fucking stop your a no guns you have no idea how weight x velocity works.

Just stop already your only hurting yourself becuase you fell for the .45 like I once did.

>>33906856


.40 is good because there are tons of weapons out there chambered for it and the ammo is dirt cheap. And it's a good round for self defense. Would I prefer 10mm? Yeah, sure. But it's expensive to practice with.

>>33916128
I was surprised by this. Paul seems like the type that says capacity and recoil are all that matter but he seemed to prefer .40 in the end.

Why don't they make a 6 round cylinder for those big revolvers? The sides are open. They could just make the cylinder a little fatter. 5 rounds don't make no sense.
