[QUOTE="YukonGlocker, post: 2842502, member: 425"] I don't think it's dead or going away. However, if you consider all costs and benefits of your available calibers, it has become increasingly difficult to justify the .40 in most conditions. The FBI did exactly that with a cost/benefit analysis that they've made public. That being said, your needs (and shooting skills) may be different from law enforcement's. In the end, your entire gun system and training regime should provide you the best opportunity to make lethal hits; and for most people 9mm will be better for that end compared to .40. There are exceptions, but those exceptions don't mirror what the average shooter deals with (including law enforcement). [/QUOTE]
