It is not really a oddball caliber (is it?), but during the shortage of early 2013, I was in the market for a new handgun, but when I went to my LGS and the only handguns and ammo they had was for the .40 cal. I really wasn't interested in it at the time, but later I got to thinking that if they are the last ones on the shelf, it might be worth having one gun and ammo to go with it. So, I researched some .40 and tried out an H&K P30L and it was great. So I bought one and some corresponding ammo for it. Like most Americans the location of the mag release is a pain, but other then that, no complaints. I later found out John Wick carried one, sans the compensator. So, nice pickup.
