Image didn't work for me.

but I decided to carry .40 for a couple of reasons:
  • I already owned a bunch of 9mm
  • when SHTF, 9mm and .45 acp are the first to be bought up. after sandy hook, .40 was the last to leave the shelf and the first to return.
  • It has a little more stopping power than 9mm.
  • at the time of purchase, all the .45s i looked at had considerably wider frames.

I'm not sure if it's the round or the barrel length, but my carry is very "snappy." It's not the most enjoyable to shoot, but I'm accurate with it and won't give a damn how snappy it feels if I ever need it.

The snap is exactly why I'm not a fan of 40. I feel like it has way more recoil than what you get out of it. But that's just my opinion. Maybe I'm a pussy. 9mm +P and 45 are perfect for me. The ammo shortage isnt a concern for me. Now that I have the room in the safe, I'm working up to a 5k supply of 9mm. If I get a 45, I'll get at least 2k of that. I dont shoot a lot. Just enough to stay accurate and consistent with my guns. Other than that, I find it a waste of ammo. 5k will last me a couple years without buying ammo.

Ive heard quite a few people downgrading their love of .40 S&W recently with facts to back it up. I still like mine but seems like one of those rounds that technology has slowly killed off.

Looking back I should of gotten a 9mm, but then I'd have a 15 round mag and be a felon under new NJ laws so I guess I'm glad I got the SAXD.40 when they first came out lol

It is not a war crime the first time.

Still makes no sense why a "high cap" magazine is a felony. But some of these gun laws are completely ignorant of real world events and input.

Nice! Keep stocking up on that ammo.
It's never a waste of ammo unless you're mag dumping into a paper target 3 yards in front of you. You gotta mix up your training by adding more targets, moving (if you can) or adding stress somehow (timer, someone yelling at you, a dummy cartridge to make you practice clearing malfunctions, etc).

It's super nice. Came with three mags which is nice because HK mags are $50 each and night sights. Cant wait to run some rounds through it soon. I'll still probably end up picking up a 13rd magazine (stock are 10 rounders) at some point.

REALLY wanted a custom action built by some local guys but the deal on this was too good to pass up. I'll pinch my pennies and save for that $3k custom rifle
