I been reading gun magazines since the 70`s .
BTW I've read about the 10mm never made since to me. ( When the New Delta Elite came at the shop iI bought a Combat Elite instead. My first carry Pistol.)
I read about the 10mm recoil and that it was hard for some to control. Which led to the 40S&W .
The only Kabooms I've heard about that time where G22/23 mostly and not so much the Beretta 96. Although I read about the Beretta 9mm problems that to this day still get thrown into the mix.
( I had both the 98 and 23 both had 500rds fired and traded in.)
What other 40cal LE service pistol were built to 9mm specs. I cant think of any.
Seem Glock & Beretta rushed getting a 40cal pistol in decades ago and the current crop of 40cal LE service pistols are getting a bum wrap to this day.
