  • I have never understood the whole 9mm vs .40 caliber debate. I am wondering why there is so much animosity towards the .40 caliber. In particular the hatred directed towards the G23 compared to the G19. Can someone explain (in detail) to me why so much hatred? The cops where I live carried the G23 .40 cal and G22 .40 cal full size for a long time now before transitioning to the G17 and G19. Is it because the .40 cal has fallen out of favor with police officers?

  • This is strictly a LE perception created by all the LE trade ins and low prices. I don't mind as you can find LE trade ins at a steal so the more the merrier for me. Perception is a powerful thing, even when unfounded.

  • The 9mm is easier and less expensive to shoot which is a big consideration when departments are planning their budgets. I shoot more 40S&W but that is because I hate reloading 9mm ammo. The 9mm has less recoil the 40 has a more snappy recoil
