I went to a gun show today and saw lots of 9s, 45s, 22, 380, 32s and even some 10s... I didn't see one pistol in 40. Is it baked at this point?
Why is there so much focus on .40 "being dead" or "is it close to being dead" when there are a bunch of other calibers that actually are dead, like .357 Sig, .45 GAP, .25 ACP...
When .40 joins those other calibers in being not commonly owned or shot at ranges, then .40 is done. I still see some .40 being shot at my range, but I've yet to see anyone shooting .357 Sig or .45 GAP in my entire life.
Hard to judge an industry from one store. While 9mm is no doubt more popular, every store around me still has some 40SW models.Well true... But I was looking for a specific gun in 40 but didn't see any... None, which was eerie. 5 years ago, there were a bunch. I think there was one pistol In 357 sig. I asked about a 50gi and just got a strange look . I guess there are too many calibers that have the same function at this point.
The 40 is the third most popular auto ammo sold in the US. Maybe it is just the region of the country you are in.
There's an old quote I believe attributed to Mark Twain " The reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated " .
I thought this was a Paul McCartney remark.
