Has to be a 40 huh? Well, I guess if it had to be, I'd go w/ the Beretta 96. The one I owned was the nicest shooting 40 S&W pistol I had shot (and I had owned & shot a few...USPc 40, Para P-16, 96, Glock 23)

Well, since I only own one .40 
, the choice is pretty simple. But no matter what I own, the choice will still be the same:

Hmm, I think a .357mag revolver (especially a 3" K-frame) or a mid-sized 9mm is a better candidate for the "one gun for everything" possibility but if I had to pick a .40 the main candidates would be:
-CZ 40B
-CZ 75B
-Kahr K40
-SIG 239
-Taurus PT940
-Kimber or SA 1911 chambered in .40S&W

one gun it would be Steyr M40.
short easy trigger pull with a safety easily turned off with 1 finger while going for trigger pull from trigger guard to safety to trigger and bang. gun has a built in lock which new glocks have though those are pricey $450-$500. steyr has a physical round in chamber indicater unlike those cheap extractor ones. can pickup a steyr on sale in $300-$400 range any higher and would pass and order one from cdnninvestments.com or zanders sports.
but if I had money to spare a glock 23 would be nice. steyr m40 and glock 23 similar size and design. though with glock would have to get new barrel to have full case support which would cost atleast $85 minus shipping and another $85 bucks to get a safety kit and another $25 to get jig to get kit installed.
with a use generation 2 glock 23 the gun would cost $350 though lacks accessory rail and finger grooves. new one would cost anywhere from $429-$500+

After owning several examples in .40, and having none of them meet expectations, I decided to skip .40 altogether.
The best one I've found was the CZ75 in .40, they have one with a brushed nickel finish at my local shop, and I've been eyeing it maybe a little bit too much. Really sharp!
Maybe if I sell my two 9mm CZ75s, and my Kadet kit, hopefully I would be able to get it.

Well, if I had to choose a gun in .40 caliber it would be the Glock 29.
Its the same size as the 23 for all practical purposes and IS chambered for .40 caliber..........just a tad longer case
Seriously though, if it had to be .40 Short and Weak I would probably go with the Glock 27. With the finger extensions I can get even my big paws on it and it conceals the best for me.

Probably a SigSauer P229, though I really don't like .40 S&W.

Glock 23 or 27

I do. It's a CZ-40B. It's got a very comfortable grip, DA/SA trigger and it's Commander sized with an alloy frame so it's fairly compact and light for CCW.
