Guessing the hardcore .40 fans shoot less than 1000 rounds a year, and never with a timer. If the advantages of 9mm, even in +P loadings, isn’t readily apparent.. Probably need to work on shooting faster.
Also, the cheap gun savings is lost after the first case of ammo.
Seems we have two groups...
I shoot 8” plates at 50 yards almost every session with my G17. Low quality ammo won’t do great at that range, but I can hit them every time with handloads. Going to mount a gong at 75 yards soon.
What I find interesting is the number of folks that get almost offended/combative if you post 2...
I can deliver rounds on target way faster with 9mm, and it’s far cheaper to practice with even if you reload. Someone with greater skill can probably lay down fire just as effectively with .40 or .45, but that’s not me.
