I want to like the .40, I really do, but I'm just not sure I see the advantages over the 9mm
I was in the very same predicament. Bought the 9mm and glad I did.

I have a .40 and don't have a problem shooting it. The wife prefers my .45 to the .40 though. I'll probably have a 9 eventually, but my next one is going to be another .45 and a .38.

50 cent got shot 9 times with a 9mm and walked away.


It was five times. And he didnt walk away he was driven to the local hospital. Tupac was shot a total of nine times four the first time outside of a music studio, five the second time on the vegas strip after a Mike Tyson fight. He didnt survive the second time.

I bought a .40 prior to the popularity of the 9mm +p ammo. My .40 has a shite ton of muzzle flip. Makes follow up shots more difficult and gives me a tendency to compensate by pulling the muzzle down further than it needs to be causing alot of my shots to be low. If i could make the decision again I would go with the 9mm.

That's the general consensus from the enlisted folk I know

I personally shoot the M9 better than any other semi auto. Don't know why, I just do.

Probably because it has an abortion of a trigger like most wheel guns
