I recently purchased a Smith & Wesson M&P-40 (my first handgun) because I was looking for a happy medium between the .45 ACP and 9mm. I wanted to be as close to the stopping power of .45 as I could with a mag capacity closer to that of a 9mm.
I'm finding a great deal of conflicting information regarding the effectiveness of the .40 S&W regarding its advantages (if any) over other calibers.
Arguments included that handguns chambered in .40SW wear down faster due to it being a "high pressure" round.
Not looking for a caliber war, I simply would like some fresh perspective on the .40SW.
