Questions on the S&W 40 caliber cartridges
I have never messed this round and don't really care for it. I have 9's and 45's for semi-autos as well as other "Common" pistol and revolver cartridges. I am curious as to the different bullet weights available. I seem to remember it was brought out as an alternative to the .45ACP for law enforcement. I have heard it is a bit snappy on the recoil and so on, but never using one I don't know a thing about it. I have a good neighbor who is interested in getting one, but he doesn't have any handgun shooting experience, so I was wondering if he would be well served by this caliber. He does know long guns, having hunted with them. Like I said I know nothing from first hand experience on it. Thanks for looking. ATB
