If you have a Glock, just buy another barrel. If you don't have a Glock, you should buy a Glock. A .40 cal Glock with a nice, thick 9mm barrel in it is sexy anyway.

I love it. I have to buy threaded barrels for my Glocks anyway so I might as well buy cheap 40 caliber models and then 9mm threaded conversion barrels.
I personally never owned a 40. Have shot several that's friends had. Never saw anything spectacular about them. I will just stay with my 9mm's, 45 and 357 magnums. Got plenty of factory ammo for em all(self defense), several thousand personally reloaded rounds for each and tons of fixins to reload more.
I have a couple of Glock 23's listed now so this thread is painful...
I am neither a Glock nor .40 S&W kool-aid drinker but I traded into these with the plan to do as
BamaFan
says (and I did with an M&P 40/357/&9) and put away for a rainy day.
I don't mind the 40 and never found it 'snappy' but I'm in the middle of changing jobs and could use the cash as a buffer.

It goes in cycles, when .40 was introduced you couldn't give 9mm stuff away. If you didn't have a .40 you were an idiot because everyone knew 9mm was useless.
Faster than a 45acp and bigger than a 9mm whats wrong with that?
And the pot has been stirred good ,now what say you..?

I've tried to like .40's and found myself with 9's and 45's instead. Even so i just started getting more into 9mm when i started getting into suppressors.
Before that everything i had was almost all .45 mainly as I was/am a big 1911 fan.

The way I see it is::::
If you shoot somebody, ANYBODY, with a 9mm, a 40 cal or a 45 acp there are TWO things that are certain.
1.). They ain't going to jump or move out of the way of that bullet. You either hit them or you miss them.
2.) They ain't going to walk up to you and ask if you shot them with a 9mm, 40 cal or a 45acp
If you can shoot well enough and straight enough to hit your target, WHERE you aim and intended on hitting it you gonna get the job done.
If you can't shoot well enough and straight enough to hit your target, WHERE you intended on hitting it,,,,,,, well then it's not the guns fault.
Practice, Practice, rinse and repeat.
