I know nobody shoots .40 anymore, but the PX4 full size is an exceptional gun in .40. It was my first handgun ever and has such a pleasant recoil impulse I used to be genuinely confused as to why people don't like .40.
Even now, having owned several dozen handguns, I'm still fond enough of it to be considering an inox 9mm variant.

(besides all the extra LEO presence that would happen, and since most of the spare weapons are full size, so the kids don't panic)
My second was the compact in .40, because I got a deal and liked the way it shoots. My third is a 9mm, in part due belief in having multiple calibers and another 9mm pistol in my collection.
Training, I think, makes the bigger difference then caliber. Having extra ammo, if your in a protect the family situation, isn't a bad thing either, so it makes sense to me.
I have been tempted with some of the deals, to try to get a full size 9mm in either a D or C configuration. I may or may not keep it, but would love to shoot one.
To clarify, I shoot a 9mm Speer 124-grain +P Gold Dot exclusively in all defense roles across platforms now.
Just saying if someone favors .40 or has to carry .40 for work, I think it's a superb platform for it, better even than the P229 or M&P 40 in my opinion, and I own and like all three.
