This is essentially the only reasonable argument to be had.

9x19mm performs almost identically to .40 S&W, and the only significant advantage to be had in the heavier .40 loads is against barriers like auto glass. If that is a significant concern for you, as it is for the modern patrolman, then have at it.

Otherwise, 9x19mm is vastly cheaper to own and to maintain skill with over time. The only reason I maintain a .40 S&W is that it is my issue weapon. All of my personal weapons are 9mm for the above reasons.

Were I in your position, I would honestly retool my firearms to have a 17, 19, 26, and 43.

Buy a G19 and chop the grip down to G26 length and feed it G26 mags.

Also, the G23 can be converted to shoot 9mm pretty easily. I'd consider that if you already have a G23.

27 because it can be converted to shoot .357 Sig, in the event that cartridge takes off with the military or police, and it can be converted to 9mm too.

Also, you can get a used G27 for about $100 less than a used G26.
