The M&P .40 does an outstanding job with .40 S&W, it's one of the only pistols that I have shot that can compare to my PX4 .40 in that regard (the other being the Sig 229). In that platform .40 is very controllable and comfortable.

That said, if you're intending on using 9mm for defense uses, get a dedicatd 9mm. I don't trust conversions outside of a range setting. Ex. If I wanted to carry a midsize Glock in 9mm occasionally and .40 occasionally, I'd buy a G23 AND a G19, not a conversion.

Silly maybe, but it gives me peace of mind.
