Pablo Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 My local gun board has tons and tons of .40's for sale? Is this just random or?? I can see if people bought a 10mm and found it to be too much gun, but the 40 seems like a fine round. I will say this, the prices on the guns look good.

CamuMahubah Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 Might be LE trade-ins...The .40 is a superb round. It does have a "snappy" recoil though...It really surprised me the first time I fired my G23! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarryinIN Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 My guess is because so many were sold in the last 20 years. Law of averages. I don't know what the rate was, but I know the shops around here sold more .40s than anything for a long stretch there. It's the same with other things. At my local shop, the top brands in sales were Glock, then Sig, then the rest. Now you can't hardly trade in a Glock or Sig there, because the case is full of them and they don't know what to do with them. It might only be a tiny percent of what they sold, but they are swimming in them. My second guess is that 9mm ammo is cheaper. That may be a part of it, but I'm not sure how big a part. While I've heard a lot of people talk about doing some trading to get a cheaper shooting 9mm, it costs money to save money in this case. I doubt many would do that except those who average high annual round counts, and they probably already have 9mms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pablo Posted January 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 Duh on my part. I have seen LE before. I highly doubt, in fact I know these aren't LE guns. I suspect Barry is correct, I didn't know so many sold. Sub $500 for some really nice .40 guns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was really surprised by how many used XDM's compared to used plain jane XD's were in the display. Quite a few big boomers for sale too! I wonder how many mall ninja's bought Deagle's and G20's as their first handgun! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does have a "snappy" recoil though...It really surprised me the first time I fired my G23! I have always heard that I do not think the recoil or snap is something to worry about. I have shot an XD subcompact in 9mm and 40 S@W side by side and yeah a 180 gn . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
