I should have said "some of them enjoying limited popularity" there is no doubt the 40SW is dying off, 40 caliber guns are almost impossible to sell these days in my neck of the woods, some folks taking half of what they paid for them in when the do sell. In my opinion the 40sw is slowly going away.
I doubt it. It's actually an excellent round in many ways. The reason for the sudden and dramatic price drop is that it has gone out of favor with law enforcement agencies, and there were so many in existence that were being replaced so suddenly, all at once, that market principles operated to drive the prices way down.
