Quite frankly in the .40sw it should be any round you can shoot accurately. Unlike the 9mm, the .40sw is designed as a defense round. It's basic form has mass, power, and a bullet designed for self defense and stopping. This is in contrast to the 9mm that, being a little smaller, you maybe want to choose a special round for self defense. I like the 124gr, JHP, +P. This packs really good punch and I like it because I get good capacity and it has good power. Yet this is below the standard .40s&w round. If you're carrying the .40, you're already set up for self defense IMO.
