Why no s&w .40 caliber????????

[Broken External Image]:
Nearly identical ballistics and ammunition costs 2x 9mm. But you can probably find some 40 on the shelf when everything else has been bought up with the latest scare.

On behalf of the "ODT official old-timers", let me be the first to say... "you must be new here!!"

Yep, there it is in a nutshell. Welcome to the ODT.

One reason is a lot of us buy/trade with resale/retrade in mind and know that it is hard to get rid of 40.

Well, one thing is... The case brought us the equally useless .357 Sig.

Don't tell that to cmshoot lol

Got some pretty hot loads in my 10mm and 357 sig. Have a 200 grain hard cast gas check boolit in my 10mm cruising along at 1225 fps. Have the 124 xtp doing 1430 out of the Sig P229. Neither are too shabby. The 10mm is in a para-ordnance P16-40 which holds 16 rounds or 10mm and 18 with the +2 extension. It is a bit too heavy for every day carry, but is always with me when in the woods. Probably lighter than most hunting sized revolvers.

Check out Razor Dobbs. He has killed more than one Cape Buffalo with a 220 grain hard cast out of his Dan Wesson 10mm. You can find the clips on utube.

I wouldn’t say it worthless, but nowadays I don’t have a valid argument for the .357SIG over the 9mm. I’ve been arguing for my agency to switch to 9mm for years, as well as a different weapon.
