I have always viewed the .40 S&W cartridge to be neither fish or fowl.
I never understood why it was developed. I don't see where it does anything remarkable. It does one thing slightly better than the 9mm but has drawback in other areas. It does one thing better than the .45 ACP but has drawbacks in other areas.
There is nothing wrong with this cartridge. It works well enough. I just never understood why it came to be in the beginning.
