I do not profess to say that the 40 cal. is any better or worse then any other caliber. I just have a ton (approx. 25 years) of trigger time with that platform. Literally thousands of rounds of 40 cal. sent down range 99 % of them by Glock pistols. It works just fine, when applied in the proper place at the proper time. However, so is a 22 mag, on a 2000lb steer! Under the right circumstances!
