Good article. With the exception of the 40S&W, I suspect all will have lingering deaths with ammo runs every now & then to satisfy the market.
I am surprised about the 40S&W but perhaps it doesn't offer much over the 9mm and 9mm ammo is very cheap.




I don't believe the 40 is dead yet..still many manufacturers selling handguns in that caliber..while not even close in popularity to the 9mm..there are still many who prefer the extra ft/lbs of energy...

Many of the courses offered for self defense prefer the 9mm for various reasons..more rounds in the mag..softer recoil..proven effectiveness with the correct bullets..etc...so, that isn't doing the 40 any favors as well..
