So of course many people responded they seen this before its an issue with 40S&W of course some more than one time

And of course thats why I carry only steel frame
Blah blah blah


I have,never heard there was any typical issues with 40 and this is FB bs? I assume so
Shot and shoot a fair amount of 40 no issues

Am I correct?

The only issue is: that because of the fact that the .40 is an optimized round, especially w/ the 180 gr. bullet, it is more sensitive to bullet setback.

Other than that, it is a 35K psi cartridge like the inferior 9mm Para.

And if you are interested in a striker-fired tupperware .40...?

The GLOCK G23.4 is the way to go.

The Gen 4 improvements successfully addressed all the issues w/ the .40 chambering.
