Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

Thinking of adding a general purpose .40 S&W, in either a full size or Commander-size(compact) pistol. Probably not interested in a subcompact, like a Kahr or EMP.
I have a 1911 barrel in .40, and a couple of Colt Deltas that could run it, but I've tried it in 1911 variants in the past, but think it really belongs in a different platform. I've owned a Glock Model 22 in the past, but don't particularly want another Glock. I sorta like the M&P .40, and there are versions locally for sale with, and without the thumb safety.
Are there any pistols out there that were designed primarily for the .40, rather than on a 9mm frame?
Thanks in advance This is my favorite: ![[Linked Image]](http://i1180.photobucket.com/albums/x401/chiefbsa/001-90.jpg) Below it is my favorite 45. Have a 9mm just like these (in the mail), coming this way as we speak.... you now need the 1006

Thanks in advance I can't remember the area of Texas you said you moved to, but I've been in Cabela's in Fort Worth and Buda. On 3 January, they're starting their after-the-holidays sale. The Witness is regularly $350 but is going to be $295 in 9mm or 40. Made in Italy. I don't have one, but am thinking on it. 10mm would be more attractive.

We have owned a Hi-Power, an M&P compact, a SW99 compact, an XD sub-compact, and a Glock 23. Not a bad one in the bunch! Almost forgot...also had an S&W 4006 and a 4053!

I don't think anything beats a 4006, but since I gave mine to my son to protect his family with, I'm packin' a FNP-40. So far, I'm liking it.

I've never owned a .40...probably never will....but if a Generation III Glock 35 came a long at the right price I would buy it.... It would then get Lone Wolf barrels in .40, .357 SIG and 9mm...

I was just going to mention the P30 when I saw your post, tex n cal.
My dad has an HK P30S in 40S&W, and I've shot it a fair amount. I don't carry concealed, but I *love* that gun, and it could definitely be EDC, unless you need something really small. It shoots great, and has proved super-reliable. And I almost couldn't believe how comfortable it was--as though the grip had been made for my hand.
Notice that I said it is the P30S--that is the DA/SA version with the thumb safety (it's down to fire and in the right place like a 1911, not that weird up to fire safety the 92FS has). Some may not like that, but it means that if you want you can carry it cocked and locked like a 1911 or just ignore the safety and carry it as a DA/SA. In any case, setting aside the "S" variant, I think the P30 is a great gun (albeit a bit pricey, and with less aftermarket stuff).
"And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us." Jn 1:14
"The expense is reckoned, the enterprise is begun; it is of God; it cannot be withstood. So the faith was planted: So it must be restored." -St. Edmund Campion (+1581)

Thanks Montana: I knew I had seen it somewhere,
My favorite 40s are my Hi-Powers...but lately I have been carrying a Ruger SR40C as a sidearm while hunting. The Ruger will cycle the CCI shotshells I use for snake and pest control. The stiff spring of the Brownings will not cycle those rounds. For an inexpensive weapon, I have been pleasantly surprised by the performance of the Ruger.

I've been very happy with my CZ-75B in .40 S&W. ![[Linked Image]](http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j303/Scoutmaster_Rick/CZ75BSA40SampW_zpsea504499.png) And I have an old Star Firestar that's still a pretty good little shooter. ![[Linked Image]](http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j303/Scoutmaster_Rick/firestar_9_zpsd20ccc9b.jpg)
