.40 vs 9mm

What say you men of the OB?
I want to like the .40, I really do, but I'm just not sure I see the advantages over the 9mm. Maybe someone here can help me see the light.

The .40 brings a little more arse.

would you rather get punched by a baby or a full grown man?

9 or 45 get rid of the middle guy

this. I have no desire to ever own a 9mm fwiw

I personally like the middle guy more than either outlier, and like the 357sig significantly more than all of the above

I use to say this but it was the best way to get my wife shooting, she doesnt like my 45.

I'm a big fan of 9mm.
Posted on 12/26/12 at 9:34 am to Grunt Actual
there's a great video on YouTube for this debate

I own all 3 but lately I am shooting and carrying my 9mm, Glock 19 to be exact.
The new 9mm rounds are comparable to the .40.
It is personal preference mainly.

I've seen the ballistics tests and they're really not favorable to the .40 especially when using good loads/self defense rounds for the 9. That, on top of the .40 being a snappier round thus not being able to get off follow up shots as well as the 9mm kind of slant me towards the 9.
Am I wrong here?

9mm IMO a lot cheaper to shoot, so in theory, you'll shoot more with hit.
Posted on 12/26/12 at 9:38 am to Grunt Actual
No you're not wrong. Modern 9mm +P is some good shite.

I too wanted a .40 until I compared the cost of ammo. All it takes is one well placed bullet regardless of caliber to stop an intruder.
