I will chime in. I had a .40, was not a huge fan but it shot well and I felt it was a good range gun. I just prefer the mentioned 10MM and the .45. NOW...its not a bad round, heck our agency carries Sigs in .40 and are pretty good guns for sigs purchased on a bid. I would not hesitate to own one but probably would never carry it for protection but fun to shoot.

I am not saying this to be a smart butt, my wife liked it a lot because it was easy to shoot and handle for her...was kind of a women's caliber in her mind.

Plus: Makes a bigger hole than a 9mm

Minus: Makes a smaller hole than a 45

I never really wanted to make a medium sized hole, so I guess I just never had any use for them. I don't particularly have anything against them. I've looked at them from time to time, but I never really heard one calling my name.

Never worry about posting a question here. You may get teased for owning tupperware or some such, but we don't flame the brethren. Ever

I had a G......ahhhhhhhhh something in .40 and I shot it well. I did not feel an extreme amount of recoil difference than a 9mm and it was easy to get back on target. Only reason I don't own one now is, because I did not want to stock up on another caliber and 9mm is cheaper for range time.

No negatives from me for the .40.
