i'd say no.... i think it's all relevant to what your use to shooting and what you like... while i am more of a 9mm guy.... my dad loves the .40 , he has several handguns in the .40, and just a couple days ago sold several handguns and revolver's he hasn't used in forever.. and at the LGS, i spotted a brand new HK P30 in 40 cal for 600$, and showed it to my dad and he bought it on the spot... he even asked the owner of the LGS why it was on sale ( reg price was 1k ) and he said it's cuz a lot of people are not into the 40 cal anymore... but oh well, my dad took it home, shot it for a bit and loves it...
