The Reasons I Love .40 S&W
1) It is what i was raised on, a sigma and sig p229 in .40cal, and when the people you admire do things a certain way or use a certain thing you tend to as well.
2) More knock down power than a 9mm and higher capcity than a .45 in the same frame size.
3)they normally fit my hand better, again back to frame size, most double stack .45's are too big for me.
4) with many .40 guns you can have 3 guns in one. .40 stock, barrel change and have .357 sig, and 9mm conversion barrel and you have all three, and with the xd line up this works out perfectly.
5)i have aquired some very nice reloads, from plinking to highly accurate loads.
6) it makes shopping for ammo easier one caliber, but this does work against me when i buy a store out of all thier .40 and they don't get any more in for a while.
7)i have tons of brass that i have shot over time and saved, no need to waste it, i will continue to reload and shoot it up.
8) and most importantly i am good with it and shoot it well.
NOTE:
there are pistols out there that i won't own in .40 ie. glocks, polymer framd kahrs etc, some of them can be brutal and just uncomfortable to shoot.
I like the .40S&W just a little can you tell by the pic?
yeah the bottom one is .357 the derringer but i have not got a pic with just my .40 pistols, i guess i should do that.
