Sounds odd but what the Armorer had to say makes sense.

You are absolutely right, TAB. They are the AKs of pistols: they are not the most accurate, pretty, or well made. But they are damn effective.

I really enjoyed one episode on one of MB's competitor's shows where Dave Sevigny (sp?) beat all the 1911 clone and S&W boys at S&W's Winter shoot last year. I really had to chuckle seeing him kick their asses with his ugly, plastic pistol.....

The bad news is the malfunctions occur when shooting weak-handed, strong-handed, or two-handed. The good news is it's only a major malfunction with a .40 caliber Glock, and there are several other guns that could replace it. Aluminum frames that don't bend like plastic when you shoot them only weigh 3-4 ounces more. The best news is that the .40 caliber is like an appendix - nobody knows what they're good for and we can all live without them.  ;D

The 40 just can't get any respect can it?  ;D

For me, I shoot 9mm or 45 ACP. There was something about the 40 I just didn't like. Evidently, there are many who feel the same but are much more articulate about why.

Anything the .40 Short&Weak can do, the .45 does with a lot less chamber pressure and a fatter, heavier bullet. If you want something smaller get a 9mm and you don't have to put up with the recoil of the .40. JMNSHO.

My understanding of the .40 origins was that it is a smaller version of the 10 mm. Some police departments were going to the 10 but some of the decision makers in those departments objected to the recoil of the 10; so the .40 was created. I don't know if it that is true but it sounded plausible....  :-\

The recoil of the awesome 10MM was too much for America's Finest so they down-loaded it and called the WEAK version "the FBI load". Since the case capacity wasn't be fully utilized they SHORTened it. That's how the .40 Short&Weak came to be.
