Trying this first, 40 S&W SW40VE,
S&W SW40VE .40SW Black/Stainless for Sale at Buds Gun Shop $349.00

Get a Glock 27 for deep CCW. I also have a Glock 23 for IDPA shoots and it's also my home protection gun. Love both and love the 40S&W. If you can find it, I get my ammo at Wal-Mart. Blazer Brass $12.27 for a box of 50.

shot placement is infinetly more important that caliber....
the old saying: I'd rather hit with a .22 than miss with a .44

9mm vs. 40 well well, whats the difference, I can't hit anything with either one! LOL. Lukem your a knowlegable guy, thanks. I carry a Baretta 9mm and feel comfortable with it, My neighbor is a deputy with a 40, we go to the range and trade off, I'm just not used to the 40 I guess, as far as the velocity, Lukem is right, higher in the 9mm wich can work against you by going thru the bad guy instead of taking him/her off there feet, I belive thats why law enforcement changed for the most part to 40 cal. anyway lets all hope we never have to use them!

I really doubt the perp is going to know the difference. Apples and oranges to me personal preference. There have been failures with both calibers and handguns are a compromise since we can't walk around with a rifle or shotgun.
