For years the 40 S&W round was the greatest thing since sliced bread to the law enforcement and private communities. That put the lowly 9 mm on the back burner.But lately there has been a reversal back to the 9 mm and the demise of the 40 S&W round. I personally have never cared for it. Nothing needed between the 9mm and the 45. I know there is the classic 38 Super and the 357 Sig in there but as far as everyday shooters fo we really need the 40 caliber . I see a lot of 40 caliber pistols for sale and not sold for what the sellers have invested. A lot of the 40 caliber owners love the and many dislike them. I have several 40S&W handguns and no plans to get rid of them but just thinking why the downside of the round is happening so rapidly it makes me wonder.Two local PD agentcies have recently given up the 45 acp and the 40 S&W and chose to go back to the 9mm both department are using the 147 grain jhp rounds. One chose Glock 17 and the other the S&W M&P 2.0
