I know there is a lot of info both on this forum and Internet about every caliber but I have a slightly diff circumstances.
I been shooting a little over a year and I shoot in my club most of the year in bullseye 5-6 weeks) competitions. Because of that I own 22 38/357 and a 45acp. Time to buy a gun and I want another quality piece. I know which gun I want ( beretta storm ) but I shot a .40 yesterday out of a sig for the first time and I it's very manageable. So it got me thinking. I am starting to reload and with my restrictions( NYC rules 7 round max in a magazine ) perhaps 40 is a better idea.

Another question for you gents would be: how does 9 compare to 40?
So lets say on power scale of 1-10 if 22lr is 1 and 45 acp is 10 where would you place 9 and .40

I know most will say move out of NYC or buy both but as of right now thats not possible
