At around a 65% ROI on non-expanding ammunition SHO and WHO shoot ability along with platform durability does not support the larger caliber in a practical sense. YMMV.

The only two companies that I know of who made their firearms for .40 S&W then chambered them in 9mm Luger were Smith & Wesson and Heckler & Koch. Also, said firearms had the fringe benefit of being extremely durable compared to other brands which took the opposite approach.
Non expanding round nosed projectiles..... due to the elasticity of human tissue ......produces a wound channel at somewhere around 60 to 65%.... if I recall correctly .....of the starting diameter of the projectile. So the slightly bigger wound channel that a 40 could produce for me does not offset the far more difficult to shoot cartridge.
Sorry forgot to add if you're one of those who post more than they read SHO is single hand only and WHO is weak hand only. Common terms on the forum.
.40 S&W uses flat-nosed bullets by design.
