No its not.
Its likely still a distant second to the 9MM in popularity of centerfire handgun ammunition. The thing is there was this perception that it would surely pass 9MM at one point because so many police forces and federal agencies were using it.
I don't think 9MM was ever in danger. It is used by military forces the world over.
So the perception of .40 has changed. It was second to 9MM and its likely still second to 9MM. The incorrect perception that it would ever surpass 9MM has simply been abandoned.
No I did not hunt the numbers. I could be wrong.
