What's wrong with the 40 S&W??????

[Grouse]

I carried my HK USP in 40 for nearly 15 years. I have 48k through it or there abouts. I did very well with it last weekend in my plate shoots. I did very well shooting rope at rope nights in seattle. Long story short, it is a damn fine caliber. It is a viable choice between 9 and 45. When it comes down to it, i can shoot it as well as my 38, my 9, my 357, my 45 acp. Some people can't because the don't practice enough, or well enough. They blame the caliber.

When it comes to caliber discussions. I have yet to find anyone who is willing to be shot with a gun of any caliber. 22lr-50bmg. I have asked many times but no takers.

There's nothing wrong with it. My wife's favorite range gun is a Beretta PX4 in .40. It's a pretty good shooter, if you can get past the DA/SA action and those big, stupid, slide-mounted safeties that look like bat ears. But the .40 part is cool.

I'll use the word (if it is one).... the 40 is "Snappier" in my hands,and that is something that I just don't enjoy. The 9mm "launches" out of the barrel, the 45 "pushes" back against me, but the 40 "snaps"... if that makes any sense.

Its a feeling. That's all. Trutch is, when I've shot the 40sw, I"ve shot it as well as any other handgun.
