@@jhlalone360 I do remember that when the FBI switched from 10mm to 40 S&W the so called "Experts" predicted that was the death of the 10mm. Well apparently that wasn't the case as new 10mm guns are being introduced almost monthly. I think the .40 will be with us for MANY years to come.

Carried a .40 as my duty weapon for years and I have first hand knowledge of it's tactical use. Quite frankly, the FBI started hiring applicants based on computer skills rather than the ability to pull a trigger. Trainees could not handle a .40 proficiently and went to the 9mm. My agency followed suit and transitioned to 9mm. They gave us the opportunity to buy our .40 cal duty weapons, which I did and carried it on duty. Training is the key!

So I know this comment is old but I have a question for you. When your department switched to 9mm, you were only allowed to stick with a 40 if you bought your duty gun? And if the whole department switches to 9mm except a couple people, they still provide the 40 duty ammo? I don't know how any of this stuff works

Even during both ammo shortages in the last 10 years, I could still find the 40 available. I love it.

especially in CCW guns w short barrels, .45 becomes a lot weaker because the round has some absolutely MASSIVE velocity loss even going to a 4.25 in barrel much less say a 3.5 or 3 inch.

The 40 was designed from the ground up to be a man stopper it was specifically designed for self defense

Punching a bigger whole at a higher speed will always be better. And the argument that advancements in 9mm bullet technology make it comparable is moot because the .40 S&W AND EVERY OTHER CALIBER has also benefitted from that same technology equally.

While I respect them and like most of their videos, I can’t believe he didn’t actually test any instead of using book values. Paul Harrell did an excellent 40SW vs 9mm. In most measures, the difference was negligible, as shown in studies of defensive handgun fights: there just isn’t a big difference all the way from 380ACP to 45ACP. One big difference was in barrier penetration where the 40SW significantly outperformed the 9mm. I carry either a 45ACP or a 380 ACP, but I’d have no qualms carrying my Browning Hi-Power in 40SW.

Everything that applies to the 9mm also applies to the 40sw especially if you are a reloader. Keep your forties and start reloading some really good ammo.

Due to the fact that most gunfights are over in a few seconds, I prefer the knockdown/stopping power of the .40 over the 9mm. Also, I have large hands, and I find the .40 to be a very comfortable round to shoot. As with any caliber, proficiency comes with practice, and so does confidence in your weapon's performance and accuracy. I cut my teeth shooting the 1911 .45, and the .40 recoil is much closer to the .45 than the 9mm. I love the 9mm for plinking at the range...BUT! For me, in a life and death situation - where one round needs to be able to stop the threat - I'm much more confident using the .40 over the 9mm.

Those same improvements to the propellants and design in the 9mm are also used in the same bullet in other calibers. So the improvements in the 9mm are also improvements in the 40 and 45.

Same here .357 was my favorite. Looking for a revolver and came across police trade in Glocks for less than no-name revolvers. Would rather have a $300 used Glock than a new $300 generic revolver with mixed reviews. Plus, if you reload you can get the 40 very close to the 10mm and .357. Just look up data for Longshot. The only advantage for 10mm is you can run heavier bullets. The only advantage for 357 is better down range trajectory.

Interesting. There is a good article written by Bob Campbell in the ConcealedCarry called "OLD FRIEND" Don't neglect the 40. My first firearms where an S&W model 10 revolver and a Mossberg 12 Gauge. At the time when I was looking for a semi-auto handgun, everyone was buying all of the 9mm ammo and I ended up with an S&W full-size .40cal and a Springfield XD. And here we are again with all that's going on in the world, 9mm ammo is difficult to find and what do you think will happen this November? I no longer have a desire to own a 9mm. 40 cal and 357magnum are my personal defense choices.

I have several .40s. Have no intention of trading them for 9mms. I don't really care what law enforcement is doing.

Liked it in the beginning. Now im getting into the .40 even more for a utility cartridge. I'm a 10mm primarily but the 40 shines far above the 9mm in my humble opinion. Not insulting the 9, but their are better choices.

@Brandon S It happens more often than you would think. I'll track them down later. Too damn early.

There is a lull in the market, caused by the myth that it’s a dead cartridge due to the FBI switching back to 9x19 for logistical reasons. If you run the numbers, .40 S&W does exactly what it was designed to do, 9mm velocity, .45 Muzzle energy, with mid range bullet weights, and roughly 30% better performance than 9x19. With a minimal reduction in ammo capacity, in a small frame pistol. Think Glock 19 vs 23, and the 15+1 vs 13+1 capacity. I’m a big bore guy for life. .40 or .45 are my carry rounds unless I’m on the job where I carry .357 Sig, but if I get into competition shooting, 9x19 makes the most sense unless I want to run majors. 9x19 is absolutely enough cartridge, I also carry a 9mm Browning pocket pistol from time to time. But anyone claiming 9mm performs “just as well” as .40 or .45 is sorely mislead, and likely already heavily invested in the 9mm life.

You also have to ask yourself, does 9mm perform just as well.. at what? With 9mm, you don't get the same muzzle energy, with similar grain weights you don't get the same velocity, and you don't get the same diameter projectile. So far, it's looking like 9mm simply does not stack up. Yes, you generally get more capacity, and you don't get quite as much recoil, but what are we carrying these things for? It's probably wise to check out real world statistics on rates of failure to immediately incapacitate in civilian/police defensive situations. In Greg Ellifritz' study titled "An Alternate Look at Handgun Stopping Power" we see that 9mm and .40 S&W both fail to incapacitate 13% of the time. .40 S&W is about 5% more likely to incapacitate with 1 shot to the head/torso, but it seems reasonable to argue that incapacitation=success. Based on that metric and that metric alone, it's perfectly accurate to say 9mm is just as good as .40 S&W. Seeing as 9mm is cheaper, I can shoot a little better with it, I get more rounds, and the round is no less likely to do its job, I carry a 9mm and feel good about it.

This is informative as helllll. Thank you. I just got a 40cal. Not knowing what we were doing, this helps!

As a deputy I’ve carried 9mm in every dept I’ve worked at . However I qualified at the academy with a 40 cal , my personal truck gun is a m&p 40 . Here lately I’ve been moving to 9mm because it’s holds more rounds and has less recoil. I can put more rounds on target with my glock 17 9mm than I can with my m&p 40cal . I also switched to a 9mm m&p shield for my daily concealed carry.

I mostly carry a G27 in 40 S&W and have better shot placement than I do with 9mm, because I've trained for it. Follow up shots are a little slower with 40 S&W, but chances are you won't need a follow up shot!

Some of the hotter 10mm rounds are capable of hitting on the low range of .41 magnum. Also if you watch some of the ballistic gel testing both .40 S&W and big brother 10mm expand quite well compared to other calibers.

.40 S&W is my favorite caliber,and is my #1 go to round. Faster than a .45 more punch than a 9mm whats not to like? Years ago while debating what type of firearm to buy as my first pistol I came across an odd situation at my work that made my mind up for me. The hospital I worked at was county affiliated so prisoners were brought there when injured. Anyway we received one suspect that had 6 officers guarding him. Turned out he was a high level MS13 member that had just had a shoot out with the Police. He was shot and hit by no less than 14 9mm rounds. Yet was sitting up talking as if it was just another day. He even had a wound that went through his hand and struck him square in the forehead as he tried to shield himself, but the round(9mm) did not penetrate and kill him. I decided right then and there .40sw was the way to go for me. This is a true story, when I asked one of the officers what happened he just nodded to his partner and said someone needs to go practice at the range more.

Velocity can have devastating effects but in that guys case the bones in his hand took out enough velocity of the 9mm that it couldn't crack his skull, now for the case of future trolls that will surely come that will down play what I've said up to now .45 is a bone crusher and .40 has more mass than 9mm so obviously will carry that mass further, not as far as the .45 but it will get the job done.

Considering in CA where magazine capacity is limited, you want rounds that maximize stopping power rather double or triple tap, IMO. But, that requires more shooter discipline.

Actually they cried about 10mm, not .40......The .40 Just dont have enough over the 9mm.

We adopted the .40 S&W in early 1996. We did not choose the 180 grain, but rather the 155 grain JHP. The thinking was that a semi-auto duty round should be equivalent to our .357 Magnum 158 grain service load. We found that all 155 and 165 JHP's exceeded Mach One which was the threshold for good JHP projectile function. Our issue .40 S&W round was an across the counter 155 grain JHP @~ 1150 fps. Since that time projectile development has effectively brought the velocity efficiency threshold down to a lower value. The 155 grain JHP S&W served us well. We did receive calls from various police departments in regards to the 155 grain’s performance becasue the 180 grain JHP .40 S&W was not performing well. A local sheriff’s department was issuing 155 grain Gold Dot and in one year experienced 3 one shot stops and one multiple shot stop. Their was an mistake made in ordering .40 and they ended up with a 180 grain Gold Dot. Shortly thereafter a female deputy was fighting for control of her Glock 22 and was able to fire three shots into her attacker's chest at just short of contact distance. The attacker ran 50 yards and sat down against a tree. When her backup arrived the subject complained that he was having trouble breathing. When EMS arrived he was no longer breathing. That armed encounter worked out well, but what if he hadn’t run off and had continued fighting for her sidearm? It could have really turned out badly.

Love my Beretta PX4 Storm subcompact .40 cal. Will never give up on that round and its not dead NO.

With the COVID-19 pandemic going on, I think that the 40 S&W may not be as popular as the 9mm, but it certainly isn’t dead. I can go to my local gun store and find 40 S&W stocked 95% of the time (costs as much as 9mm ammo, but that’s not really the point due to the ammo shortage). Glock recently released the Gen 5 version of their 40 cal pistols, which I want one, and I don’t think they or other manufacturers would keep making pistols chambered in that caliber if it was extinct. I have a Glock 23, which is the 40 cal. version of the Glock 19, and I can testify that it’s a snappy round. However, with a lot of practice and trigger time, I found that I can manage the recoil pretty well and score hits with it. Also, I’m certain that when it comes to bad guys, to borrow from Rocky IV, “whatever it hits...it destroys”. But I’ve rambled enough, if someone isn’t comfortable with their 40 cal pistols and ammo, please feel free ship them to me.

Not very professional. Old news, or, more accurately, old opinions. Anybody who shoots 9 mm, .40 and .45 regularly more or less in the same quantities (reloading strongly suggested) knows .40 has no practical disadvantages and is more performant than 9 mm, regardless of alleged bullet technology improvements. My reloads in .40 are actually milder than my 9 mm. The comparison with .45 is more complex but typically the convenience to carry is higher with .40. Bashing .40 is just a stupid trend of the last years with no true technical point in it.

Different way of looking at things... So I love the 40 and cant bring myself to use a 9 but not for reasons most consider. For me its about grip and comfort. I'm a smaller guy st only 5'6 but I have large hands. So every single 9 I have put my hands on it either hangs off of the bottom of the grip or feels far to narrow in my hands because my fingers fold over. 40's and 45's just fit better. Longer grips, wider thick bodies, and just feel more solid. So for these reasons I'm actually smoother, quicker, and more effective with a 40 or even 45 over any 9 I have shot

.40 and 9mm guns are the same size nearly across the board. The whole point of the .40 was 10mm lite ballistics in a 9mm sized package. You have to compare apple to apple, though. A Glock 23 is the same size as the Glock 19, and in fact they use the same lower. Sure, a Glock 22 fills the hand better than a Glock 19, but that's comparing apples to oranges. A G17 is the same size as the 22. I am a big guy with big hands, so I really like my G17. I do wish the trigger reach was about a quarter of an inch longer, but it's more than usable. My Kahr P9, though, is really way too small for the hand, but it conceals really well.

Pretty sure Jerry Miculek has taught us all that it's not the caliber, it's the person holding it. Considering how many reports we see of multiple rounds with not many hits, maybe we should worry less (not at all) about caliber and concentrate WAY more on accuracy, eh?

I was in the army when we gave up the 45 for the 9mm. The next thing we had to learn was the double tap. Nuff said.

Jason Dude, Barry WILL NEVER DIE! He'll live on through KZread until the end of time... :'-)

thanks for making this video, I've gotten some great deals on .40's

I mostly carry 9mm & .380, but, I've never understood the argument that "innovation" has allowed 9mm to "catch up" to the performance of .40 & .45, as if the same design advances were not improving THOSE calibers, as well. It's a nonsensical argument.

It’s not dead. It just smells funny.

daniel castle + 40 is the evil corrupter of youth.

I'll take 15 rounds of 40 over 17 of 9mm for defense any day. More total ft lbs of power. Note- I compete with 9mm, but I protect with 40.

By that logic 5 rds of 500 S&W is even better

@@Skinnymoose Ummm No. Wrong tool for the job. You missed the point. For 2 legged animal defence 9mm and 40 can be close in 3 key attributes, round count, recoil, and energy/terminal ballistics. I can control both equally well for follow up shots, and I'll give up 2 rounds for more energy and superior ballistics of the 40. IF I were defending against a Kodiak bear I would take my S&W 500 5 rounds over my Delta Elite 8 rounds of 10mm even though the 500 is much harder to control.

@Michael Srite No,No, No...you arent getting it. You COMPETE with 9mm but you PROTECT with 40....more total ft pounds of power.....understand?

I think the point is: IF power is your preference...why not 15 rounds of 10mm? Or even .357sig. But when it comes to the standard 3 (9mm .40 .45) there isn't enough difference to negate the cons of the .40

@Michael Srite its only two shots if you truly train accuracy and reloads that difference is negligible

And now 40 cal glocks are going for $600+ used during the COOF! Haha

Everyone looking for 9mm, 357, 38spl, 45 during the pandemic.... My buddies and I walking out of stores with arm loads of 40 and 357 Sig smiling.
