Re: What Grain .40 Caliber You Carry?
I carry winchester 165 ranger SXT's. I just recently picked up a couple boxes of 165 grn HST's and will be switching over to them eventually.

Re: What Grain .40 Caliber You Carry?
I shoot 165 grain fmj for target winchester white box. I carry 165 grain golden saber. My M & P 40 seems to like 165 more so the 180 it may be recoil it may be bullet weight. My groupd tightened up when I switched. The golden saber seem to shoot right into the target round groups. I do want to try some hornady critical defense sometime as well.

Re: What Grain .40 Caliber You Carry?
No two shots are going to be equal , and performance wont be the same as it is in water.....But for someone on a budget this is a good baseline....and gives all bullets the same test. A hollow point should perfrom its best going thru water. So in my mind these results are the best you can get and all bullets are compared evenly.

Re: What Grain .40 Caliber You Carry?
I have never seen the need for the .40S&W. I don't own a firearm in that chambering.

Re: What Grain .40 Caliber You Carry?
Its not really a need, but to have .45acp energy levels in a 9mm sized pistol. If I had a 9mm or a .45 I wouldnt feel the need to replace it. If I didnt already have one of those calibers to share ammo with then I would surely consider it as much as any other caliber, and more then most.
Just a quick look at double tap ammo sight shows these averages.
9mm+p 450lb of energy 4" barrel
.40s&W 550lb of energy 4" barrel
.45acp 520lb of energy 5" barrel
10mm 760lb of energy 4" barrel
Like I said I wouldnt trade a .45 or a 9mm in on a .40.....but if I was shopping for my first new pistol it would be a .40.
