I didn't read most of this thread.
I hate the 40. I owned and have fired several firearms chambered in it. I now only own Glocks with 9mm conversion barrels. It is much harder to shoot than 9mm or even 45. It doesn't seem to add that much if you are shooting HPs on unarmored targets. It is much more expensive and less loadings are available.
I qualified with handgun a few weeks ago with guys shooting full size 40s and I had a dinky 9mm. I stomped them, especially on timed courses and double tap courses. There was one course I think I did not score the highest and that was running from cover to cover suppressing as you ran and I hit all the targets and went much faster, but I dropped a few rounds also(I read the course as suppression, so I just went fast).
45 ACP seems to ad a good bit of energy and is not nearly so snappy. I do not have a lot of experience with it though. It is still considerably more expensive than 9mm.
