I also predict the .40 will lose popularity over the next 10 years.
It is a good round, but I think recoil and wear and tear on guns are going to cause a lot of departments and agencies to switch back to the 9's.
Then we'll get to hear "When I joined the force we carried a man's cartridge..." for another 30 years.

The 40 IS a woman's cartridge. It was a toned down 10MM cause the wimmins couldn't handle the recoil when first offered to the FBI after they abandoned the even more effette 9MM
