Is there anyone out there that personally buys more than a few thousand rounds of .40 in a year?
When 9mm is about $80 less per thousand, ($165 v. $245 delivered) it seems like everyone I know that shoots a lot (and buys their own ammo) is switching to 9mm. I know plenty of LEOs that love .40 (and .357 to a lesser extent), but they get their ammo for free. I also know competitive shooters that roll their own. However, I can't think of anyone nowadays that actually buys more than a thousand rounds of .40 per year.
We seem to be in the golden age of .40 handguns. They are on sale everywhere both used and new. However, with ammo prices the way they are I just don't see anyone jumping on it.
