      Why has the 40S&W fallen out of favor as of late?

      No one has mentioned the expiration of the awb in (`94-`04). During those 10 years if you could only have 10 rounds in the same size gun, .40 made more sense than 9. A positive aspect imo during the ban was the resurgence of the 1911 in .45 for the same reasons, limited capacity. With mag bans...

      ISO .22lr reliable simi auto

      I wouldn't buy anything with a lightened aluminum slide. Go get an all metal Browning Buckmark or a Ruger Mark whatever. Neither are ammo finicky. They will last forever and make you both better shooters.

      2024:Ammo is going up (again)…

      Now is not a great time to start reloading….but there’s never a bad time. Get a cheap press and a scale. Pick a couple calibers and get dies. Save your brass and when powder and primers are a “fair” deal, buy! Bullets almost always available.
