Not to be picky but the 40P is not a steel frame.

 

[churchmouse]

Yes I have actually. I shot WTB's 40P and I think I shot some 40 with Birds, Wiz and CM when I went up there to visit (but I shot so many awesome guns that day they are all blending together into one range session of awesomeness). I don't know, it just seems like a compromise caliber to me, and in a world of compromise...some men don't! I'm not a 40 hater, just not a fanboy.

In one of our loosely ran -CM- non-scientific tests we came to the conclusion that out of the box .40 just runs away from 9mm offerings.
.40 just carries more steam.
Haters will say the 9mm has come a long way in the SD offerings but the .40 escalates along the same curve.

When did you grow a beard?

Didn't know that, thanks for correcting me.

.40 is much better at intermediate barriers, such as windshields. A 9mm will often deflect off of a windshield if you aren't square to it when firing. The 40 will penetrate.

Oh I have no doubt it carries more steam than a 9. My thoughts are, why shoot 40 when you can shoot 45!!?? As a 1911 aficionado I'm sure we can agree on that? 9 for fun, 45 for work.

You should see what it will do to a piece of 3/16ths" cold rolled steel plate.

I prefer to carry the .22lr.

I prefer to carry the .22lr.

Oh no, I've started a caliber debate! I'm sorry...

 

[RustyHornet]

No debate necessary. It's obvious I'm right.

 

[Birds Away]

The 40P sits on a P01/P06 frame which is alloy.

 

[churchmouse]

Oh no, I've started a caliber debate! I'm sorry...

Oh heck no...........

 

[Birds Away]

No debate. To each his own. There are different applications where I prefer each of the three primary calibers. Other people feel differently about it. I don't care.

I'm offended that you don't care.

I agree, shoot and let shoot as I always say. If someone loves the 40 then I say more power to ya! I just don't want another caliber to reload for so that's part of my decision too.

I'm offended that you don't care.

Somehow I'm not overly surprised! LOL!

Oh lord. I literally just told myself last night that I wish I could find a 40 in nickel or stainless. And then bam.

See how that works...

 

[RustyHornet]

See how that works...

So all I've got to do is dream something up and you guys will make it come true?

 

[Birds Away]

Oh lord. I literally just told myself last night that I wish I could find a 40 in nickel or stainless. And then bam.

As soon as I saw that I knew who should get it.
