Manageable varies from person to person. I’m fairly large (and unfortunately still overweight but I’m working on it) and have no trouble at all with either my M 1 or my SMLE. However with handguns it depends on the arthritic condition of my hands on some days my 40 is perfectly easy and manageable, however on other days I can only manage a 9, and on real bad days I might carry my SR22. Shot placement is the key that is most affected by management issues in my case.80+ year old eyes 20/25 vision much arthritis.
I still like the 40 and have a decent stockpile. It’s not going anywhere the 9 is not a magic round, although it is venerated by some as being the best thing since flush toilets.
ps I believe the original question dealt with why is the 40 not as common as it once was. Thread got way off topic I feel
