I don't think anyone needs to defend what they choose to carry. Do whatever you want. There's plusses and minuses to 9, 40, and 45, and a bunch of others.
I wish 38 Super was chambered in more modern, single stack concealed carry guns. For me, that would render all three relatively moot in that carry class.
The title of this thread is one I interpreted to be a challenge for we who use and like the 40 S&W into defending our choice. Sure, nobody is going to come here, take my 40 and gift me a 9, but this is a discussion board so I discussed.
I am curious about your last comment. I see no place in today's world for the 38 Super. The 40 under discussion here, will match it in every regard and exceed it in many. The 10 is significantly more powerful. Both the 40 and the 10 work in pistols of the size which would work for the 38 Super although the recoil from the 10 seems to have confined it to slightly larger forms such as the Glock 29.
So I'm curious being unfamiliar with the 38 Super as I am, what would such an arm do for you that the current production arms won't?
