40S&W making a comeback
Nothing so needs reforming as other people's habits - Mark Twain

You should have seen the condition of some of the M45A1 pistols that were returned to Colt. Those were sold on GB.
All that told me was that even elite military units don't really care about what they use or the condition.
I suspect the FBI is the same. About the only people that care about this stuff is purchasing agents and people who write about it to eat.
In a few years the FBI will come back and say they have reevaluated the 40 and it's back to the future.
It's a minor detail.
In the P-F basket of deplorables.

The only way I see .40 S&W coming back is if there is once again legislation that limits magazine capacity. If we see a magazine capacity limit, I would expect to see a resurgence of .45 ACP, 10mm, and .40 S&W, with the latter in service pistols suitable for hands and fingers of all sizes. If the limit is low enough (say seven), I would expect a resurgence of revolvers, especially in .45 Colt and .357 Magnum.
If we start seeing capacity limitations across the board I’ll probably go the way of commander sized 1911s to supplement the carrying of my J-frame and pick up an LCR along the way. Yes it’ll be a little heavier than an equivalent polymer gun, but I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around neutered double stack magazines that are partially or half full.
Either way, still probably wouldn’t go .40S&W, personally.
I see you’ve changed threads and are spouting your uninformed nonsense here now. You’re very, very out of touch. Just because you have a keyboard doesn’t mean you should use it.
As for 40 coming back. I can’t imagine it will ever thrive again for all the reasons that have already been stated. If there is a surge in people buying 40 caliber guns it’s only because some shooters can’t resist a deal and are buying all the trade in guns from people who know better and dumped them.
If we've accepted that there mostly negligible and specific differences between major calibers, and that many/most shooters in 9mm guns perform demonstrably better than in larger calibers, why would .40/.45 make a comeback with new legislation? In a compact to full size gun, 10 rounds is still only ten rounds. In a subcompact or a 6-8rd 9mm, it's now 5-7. For most folks, that's the same or fewer rounds to shoot worse with.
I don't get it?
