Which handgun in .40 cal?

S&w 610

Many people use lead in Glocks with no ill effects, yet some still stay away from it.

Immediate cleaning seems to be solution to this.


Now, to add one more firearm... this time it is revolver.

Smith & Wesson model 610, will shoot 10 mm and .40 cal.

Looks great, large frame, very interesting revolver- bonus of having 10mm and .40cal without need for switching barrels!

An accurate gun; a great choice if you don't like chasing your brass.

My Sig SP2022 in .40 eats anything including Wolf reloads.

Its nice, but so is the XDM-40... Which is another nice (if not different) choice.

I did look at a SIG, and made inquiries to someone on EE, but person never answered to my PMs.

CZ is always a good choice.

Springfield XDM 40 seems interesting, does anyone on this boards own one, or have shot it?

hey i don't have an xdm but i do have an xd 40 tac. So far its great. but i will pick up a stainless gun soon. i think polymer guns in 40cal's are very kicky. it could just be my grip. just my 2 cent.

Three posts within a minute... Good one! :)

I considered CZ 75 SP-01 Tactical .40cal, SIG 226, XDM 40 more so than the others so far.
Does Tactical have worthy upgrades over stock 75B?

I prefer whole gun over changing barrel kit, and would like to purchase something that is quite or somewhat different to what I already own.

Thanks.

If idea of having a 'large' 'heavy' gun with decocker appeal to you and you like the grip and ergos - go for it.
I didn't like lever position - it was always in the way WHILE SHOOTING, had one, sold it. Other than that - great gun.

Lots of pro Glock and CZ but as a big fan of SIG, I wonder why not more people have not said go with a 226 or 229 in .40?

I actually did look for .40 cal SIG and last week made offer to a fellow on EE.

Interestingly enough, he never replied to couple of my PM's and gun was sold day later.

I wasn't too impressed.

Most of the sigs that are in excellent condition sell real fast - there are a lot in the EE that are WAY OVERPRICED (if you see BTT every week for the past few months watch out)
 
saying a glock is better than the others cause you can get aftermarket parts for it is like saying my ruger 10/22 is better than a thompson 22 cause theres more parts available...:rolleyes:
 
You get what you pay for, and Glock is an excellent pistol for those that have preference for polymer firearms.

Glock's strength is impecable reliability and very competitive pricing.

Some people like it, and others don't.

I have Glocks and I have other pistols, both have their place in one's collection.

However, I do not have MP40 or SIG, and that CZ Champion is really interesting...
 
So...

The M&P is superior. Is it because of...

the "safer" magazine disconnect?
the "safer" integral locking device?
the "safer" sear-disconnect disassembly process?
the "new and improved" striker?
the S, M, and L backstraps?

What about the scarcity (in Canada) of no-mag-disconnect models?
What about the scarcity of replacement strikers?
What about the reduced number of holster options?
What about the lack of a .22LR conversion kit?

The Glock is not better because there are more aftermarket parts, holsters, and accessories available for it than the M&P, although there are. The Glock is not better because more soldiers, sailors, and aviators carry it than the M&P, although they do. The Glock is not better because more police officers in Canada, the United States, and the world, carry it than the M&P, although they do. The Glock is not better because one can buy every single part for the pistol, either Glock or aftermarket, your choice - from the striker to the trigger to the frame, every part.

Glocks are everywhere. Everybody and his dog has a Glock. If you hate to follow the crowd, and you prefer to be the first one on your block with the brand-new-and-improved 2011 model of whatever is rare and relatively hard to get parts for, I guess the Glock is not for you. As for me, simple, common, and proven-reliable is a virtue; given a choice between the Gen3 and the Gen4 Glock, I would take the proven Gen3.

(I'll leave the beta testing to you guys. ;))
