Yea I agree with you on the .380 pricing. I think people put up with it because of the pocket pistols they like to carry. I wonder why it's so expensive.

All I can figure is supply and demand. A lot of these ammo manufacturers allow their plant to only make a specific caliber for an extended period of time, so I know a lot of people have .380"s, but a lot more people have 9's 40's and 45's. Other than that, I have no clue. Cost of operation is why I sold my .380's.

every body hates the 40 but i love it...it cuts chains i have on steels every time i miss and its a powerful round with some knock down power, we use it to clear small trees on the range and wee love to shoot in a Zeved out G22 gen 4 peew peew

Yeah, I think Colin Noir explains the difference of a 40 between the 9 and 45. It's like having a car AND and a truck.

yes 9mm is the s10 the 40 is the Colorado and the 45 is 2500hd diesel

yes 9mm is the s10 the 40 is the Colorado and the 45 is 2500hd

Then what is 357sig or 10mm?

Then what is 357sig or 10mm?

well that would be a decked out 2500 hd 4x4 on 22s (10mm) and the 357 would be 1500 z71 super charged LOL!

I'm thinking that the 40's got a bad reputation when first introduced. They've since been improved dramatically. I have a 40 and a 45, and I consider the 40 to be superior in almost any conceivable situation.

I think if I remember correctly the FBI was testing the 10mm in there weapons and vast majority of officers couldn't qualify with it so they asked S&W to develop a round that was the same diameter bullet and weight with less recoil to get officers to be able to pass qualifiers with *close* to the same knock down power hence the introduction of the 40 s&w
