You have ten seconds to tell me why there's anything chambered in .40 in your possession.
I don't.
I can't handle 10mm and I suck dick so 9's out of the question.
>>28350315
because its the perfect size for my anus
>>28350315
because its a great round with the best qualities of 9x19 and .45ACP
>>28350315
Substantially more power than the 9mm and 90% of the power of a .45 while having more velocity and capacity.
Was one thread not enough you fucking tard? >>28349932
stop posting
>implying i have a licence to possess high explosives
>>28350373
>Substantially more power
Not with hollow points. Then, you've got very similar power with more recoil and less capacity.
Cost less than a comparable used Glock in 9mm did at the time.
Came with drop-in conversion barrel.
Shoots fine with either barrel using either magazine. (seller was hiding a light strike issue caused by a worn firing pin assembly he fucked with and broke but cost 20$ to replace).
So now I have a 400$ Glock that shoots both 9 and .40, so I can shoot .40 if I feel like it or if it's all I can find which has happened during the last panic. I used to trade what was left of my 9mm stockpile 3:1 for .40 and plink with that all day.
>go to lgs for year end sales
>browsing Glocks
>"sorry man, we've sold out of all of our. 40 Glocks. All we got left is 9mm"
>lol wut
why do fudds jizz themselves over fotays?
>>28350512
marketing scheme. I had to talk my dad out of thinking a .40 is a one shot man stopper.
>>28350465
If you are talking hollow points, then .45 duly beats them both where it wouldn't be worth carrying the other two.
>>28350315
It was a gift.
I actually like it after putting a few hundred rounds through it.
betcha I can make /k/ mad.
Anything between a .32 ACP and a .44 Magnum is probably fine.
>>28350551
I mean I didn't even ask and he just told me that like he was expecting me to ask for a. 40
Guy at Academy said they sell 10x more. 40 than 9mm and. 45
Then again, these are the same people that buy guns and take a cwp class and then never shoot of carry
>>28350589
You're right
Because I can do whatever I want with my money. How awesome is it that I won the lotto on life by being an American!!
>>28350589
Probably. It's just that some of us value our lives too much to settle for a "probably".
>>28350645
.32 is a little low imho but I doubt anyone wants to get shot even by .22
>>28350660
All right then, what's your minimum cutoff for definitely?
>>28350589
>probably
you're not even confident with voicing your own opinion.
>>28350772
But it's true. Sometimes weird shit happens. The odds of even a .44 Mag failing to stop somebody is slightly greater than zero. All you're doing is poking holes in people until they knock it off.
>>28350315
my glawk foty
It was cheap and superior to both 9mm and 45 in all the ways that count.
>>28350589
If I'm not carrying at least my .460 S&W Magnum X-Frame I feel as though I'm inviting rape.
>>28350315
The only thing in .40 is my 10mm Glock.
Standard .40 Short and Weak is gay as fuck, hence why I don't have one.
>>28351470
>Shield 40
Jesus Christ that's fucking retarded. Small gun, more snap, less capacity. Didn't know the mentally retarded could even use the internet, damn shame.
Competition shooting. Different scoring in USPSA for different calibers.
Same reason why I own a gun in 10mm auto and .38 super.
>>28351470
Better at having harsher recoil and fewer rounds in the mag I guess. You're not going to see much a difference in terminal ballistics between 9 and 40 from a barrel that short.
>>28350315
Cheap lightly used police trade in. Better first gun than a Taurus. I don't sell guns if I can avoid it, so it's my primary handgun until I can save up the dosh for a LH9.
>>28350315
Because I remember Sandy Hook and one of the few cartridges still on the shelf was .40s&w and I got a good deal on a 9mm barrel for my M&P ($115 shipped w/ two 9mm mags).
>>28350315
I have a G35 and G23...I like it.
I work armed money truck security, and if I ever have to actually fire my weapon in my line of work, shit has gone south FAST AND HARD.
So I want a bullet that is sure to penetrate and be loud as my last ditch effort on this earth...regardless if I live through the encounter, I don't want the bank robber to go:
"LOL,only 9mm,bruh!"
and get in the escape vehicle and have a low chance of bleeding out and instead be captured by police and is still alive to go to the hospital.
>>28350512
moar stoppin powah
There isn't. I'm not some desperate memelord faggot trying to convince myself that it's better than 9mm or 45.
.40 Small & Weak.
>>28353386
>can't breath thru all this bullshit
>noguns detected
>>28353636
I tell you what, if this thread is still up sunrise, I'll post a dated hello /k/ pic. Heck even if this thread is gone, I'll simply start a .40 s&w thread with my g35 and g23 just to make you feel happy.
>>28350563
They actually all do the same thing when you put them in people.
I dont, i own a 10mm
Because there isn't a damn thing in the world that I'd carry otherwise
whats wrong with .40? don't own any just generally curious
>>28354483
from what I've heard, the feds wanted 10mm, but the female members couldn't handle the recoil so they went to .40
>>28350332
Because .40super is more powerful than .44magnum. And i can carry 15 of them in my fnp tactical.
>>28350315
Because it allows me to shoot both .40 and 9mm with just a 5 second change of barrels.
Why shoot only one caliber out of your gun? Don't even have to change magazines.
It's my problem solver.
.40 s&w is perfectly acceptable. It's probably better than 10mm in the sense that many 10mm loads are identical to .40 almost, only chambered in larger, heavier framed guns.
It has more thrust per squeeze
>>28350315
I would never own anything in .40 ever
I wish 9 and 45 fags would stop fighting with each other and realize that the true enemy cartridge is 40.
>>28354503
>Why shoot only one caliber out of your gun?
Why shoot two?
>>28350654
This. Why do people care what other people do with their money? I have a 40 cause it was a good deal and I shoot well with it.
>>28350315
I haven't bought a USP in 40 yet.
>because IPSC minor/major
>>28350315
Got a hell of a deal for a Ruger P94 from a cop who wanted to carry 9mm. I don't shoot it much.
>>28350315
Because my wrists aren't made of brittle glass, I have large hands, and I can afford the ammo in bulk. Why don't you own anything in .40?
I bought it for cheap then converted to 9mm
>>28350315
It's literally the worst round ever devised. I never thought I could hate a bullet, all guns are more accurate than we are, except the .40 S&W
>>28355456
You were cool until you said USP in .40
>>28350315
Barrier penetration.
>>28350315
Because I've been buying guns for more than 6 months.
Because I don't give a shit about calibers, I give a shit about my abilities as a shooter.
Because if I can crush competitors in IDPA in 40, then I can certainly do it in 9mm.
Because I watch steel targets get blown over with authority with 40, but watch them limply flop over with 9mm.
Because I guns chambered in 22lr, 22 magnum, 380, 9mm, 38 S&W, 38 special, 357 magnum, 40 S&W, 45acp, 44 special, 44 magnum, 45 long colt, 20 gauge, 12 gauge, 223 rem, 5.56, 7mm-08, 30 carbine, 30-30, 7.62x39, 7.62x51, and 7.62x54.
Because an extra few bucks in ammo costs is meaningless to me.
Because law enforcement is dumping quality guns at cheap prices because EOE standards means lower standards. Sure enjoy my police trade in USP for $450.00
Because a man hiding from recoil is no different than wearing skinny jeans.
>>28350315
Dad used to do competition shooting with it and he's giving it to me.
>>28350315
because i want ammunition chambered for effectiveness not designed so limp wristed women can shoot it
>>28350315
>>28355719
my bad i thought it said anything other than
keep on keeping on op AAA thread
>>28350315
because i found 2 .40 s&w in the woods and i didnt want them to go to waste
>>28355719
>>28355723
The irony of these posts. 40 Slow and Weak exists because of that reason. 10mm is best milluh metah!
>>28350315
I reload 10mm, and because i reload 10mm i can also reload .40 S&W.
I can handle the recoil of both and accurately put rounds on target,
13 rounds of 180gr .40 Black Talon in a P226 is plenty for my needs.
Get at me.
Kommiefornia so magazine capacity a shit.
9mm conversion barrel on the cheap.
.40 defensive ammo seems to be cheaper than 9mm for some odd reason.
.40 exists even when shit goes Code Kermit.
>>28355649
>Because a man hiding from recoil is no different than wearing skinny jeans.
>>28350332
fudd/10
>>28350315
Because fuck you I do what I want
Because I got a P226R in 40 with night sights, 4 mags, and a holster, all new in box, for 300 bucks. Bought two barrels and some mags, now I can shoot 9mm, 40, and 357 Sig, and it only takes about thirty seconds to switch.
>>28350772
If he said definitely some assclown would be in here with a burning asshole, bitching about imagined scenarios where it might not work.
Do you seriously fail at basic brain function this completely?

people leave all their brass at the range.. i pick it up and reload it for next to nothing.

Don't do it, senpai. DA+ isn't as awesome as they advertise it to be. I wanted one, didn't want it after I shot someone elses. Truly disappointing

Yeah, real men for sure.
>>28350315
There isn't. .40, despite being common, is pointless.
>>28350315
there isn't
Because .40cal, for whatever reason, is the caliber that I shoot most accurately with the greatest consistency. Yes, I get more consistent groups at distance with .40cal than I do with 9mm and I shoot it more accurately than I shoot .45acp.
I also don't care for how it feels to shoot 9mm and like the idea of a heavier slug for the very minor benefits it gives regarding barriers.
9mm is only better than .40 if you can't handle recoil or can't afford ammo. In which case, carry 9mm. I don't like .45 because it makes the guns thicker/heavier.

Because I'm a broke grad student

lol
small light single stack... can I get that with extra snap please
because .40 S&W is better than 9mm and has significantly more capacity than .45ACP?
I mean this isn't rocket science
