Any considerations for 40 S&W?

[drc2777]

So after selling my Glock 27 today, and looking at the small stash of 40 S&W I have sitting around, is it worth a second look?

Are there any pistols, carbines, etc. that I should look into that use the caliber pretty effectively? Any personal favorites that use this caliber?

Just buy a 9mm conversion barrel (gold threaded)and then you essentially have a g26. Then you can avoid the embarrassment of telling your friends that you still have a 40 cal.

Edit my comprension skillz and the glare on my phone. I read it as seeing my 27

Kel tec sub2000.

Why did you sell your 27? You could try a Glock 22/23. I don’t get into the sub or micro pistols like the Hellcat/P365, etc. My personal limit is the G19 in size.
90% of the time it’s a G22 for me.

- Too chunky for conceal carry *at least for me*
- Would be spending more time and money on making it multi-purpose, which would take away from familiarizing and training with what I got.

Like don't get me wrong, I'd like to see if there is anything I can do to repurpose 40 S&W to something specific, but it'd have to be something 9mm nor 223/556 can't do.

Of all the 40's I have had the Sigs (P226) and Tanfoglio (all models) have been the best of the best.

Sig 226. Love the all metal pistol

Giving the ammo to me might be your best bet. A few years ago I picked up a Glock 22 police trade-in when everyone was selling them for $299. Of course it is nothing special. Maybe a High Point carbine? My 9mm carbine is fun and pretty accurate

It's too bad that .40 cal won't kill anything anymore...thank God for the 9mm

OMG... I never thought of that. Should we all give our .40's over to Guncontrol.inc so they can make Ben Wa balls out of them... Which they sorely need

Too big and clunky if he didn't like the 27.

Ah, I was thinking it will shoot both rounds tho?

Never heard that. Is it true?

I second a pcc. On a steel course, it lands with much more authority than 9mm. Look into the power of .40 in a 16" barrel.

Guess you can but maybe you shouldn’t.

Mind blowing. I just might have to buy a 10mm Glock to try this out

I would really like to hear from @Daezee and @Oneshot on this
