I hope not as it is my favorite caliber as well.
I read that several government agencies had been using .357 SIG as their standard issue round; but is there any truth to this with the prevalence of .40 S&W with LEOs?
Not in the forseeable, too much politics/alliances, economic considerations involved...If it was all about testing; we would still have the .45acp...In fact, I would not be surprised if the next U.S. military issued handgun was a .40 caliber.
SkinnErgram 94 said:Caliber breakdown for single stacks is:
9mm = 45%
.38S = 5%
.40S&W = 6%
.45ACP = 43%.
Any surprises there? Surprised me!.45ACP was replaced by 9mm to the tune of 13%.
Staggered column guns break down as follows:
9mm = 18%
.38S = 10%
.40S&W = 60%
.45ACP = 12%
More surprises as.40S&W chews into both the 9mm and the.45 market share. That seems to be the Law Enforcement and Military market caliber of preference now. At least in the markets that we serve.
