For the record, I don't hate the 40. I'm indifferent about it. I've shot some 40 S&W pistols that I liked a lot, but not enough to stop relying on my 9's and 45's. If I'm buying anything of .401 diameter, it's in a longer case. Even that is mostly out of curiosity.
I do though hate that government agencies spend too much of our money on hardware solutions to software problems, and this has been one shining example IMO. If the move to the 40 doesn't prove that out on its face, the move back to the 9mm certainly does.
