    What are the best platforms for the .40

    Hello,

    This is my first post on here and I have been checking out some threads and using the search function quite a bit prior to posting.

    I am looking for user opinions on what the best platform for a .40 is, I have noticed that people tend to go with the M&P, 1911, and HK for .45, and Glock for 9MM from some of the threads I have read.

    I tend to go with 1911's and Glocks for the most part, however I have read some negative feedback on the Glock's in .40.

    I will be looking for a full size pistol and possibly a smaller compact, I will be looking forward to the responses as I have discovered a lot of good information since I have been checking out this site.

    Thanks.

    Best is hard to quantify.

    I tend to look at a pistol's ergonomics above all else first. If it fits my hand properly then it gets a second look. By fitting my hand I mean being able to reach the trigger with the pistol still in line with my forearm and pointing naturally. Unlike some, I place a significant amount of importance to a pistol that will easily point where I look without having to work to align the sights. Secondly, a low bore axis is very important to me as well.

    I tend to not get too wrapped around the axle over brand names.

    The Sig P229 seems to fit the bill quite nicely along with the M&P 40 FS.

    Best .40 platforms

    I guess I should have stated that by best, I am looking for Reliability, Accuracy, and all around toughness ( nothing fragile).

    M&P40, but I'm biased...

    I have heard the M&P40 from a lot of people that I trust. I have no personal experience, though.

    I've thinned out my .40 inventory quite a bit. The only keepers are my SIG-Sauer P229 and Hi-Power.

    Best, Jon

    Glock 23 for me. Never had a single problem and I KNOW that it works in a real world shooting.

    Sig P229 and M&P .40 were designed for the .40 round but I would choose the M&P. Better ergo's and better QC than Sig which has been slipping and is not worth the premium $$$ they charge.
