The thing that's really keeping me from owning a gun in .40 is the condition of once-fired brass for sale on eBay. It's plenty cheap, but the few .40's I've pulled out of my big boxes of 9mm brass are bulged (which I'm guessing is due to coming from an unsupported chamber).

Just how dangerous is it to use this brass (repeatedly), in a gun that does have a supported chamber?
