Wizard, Thanks, I know what you mean. I looked for a long time for one. Never could find
a 45. This 40 was held captive at my local hangout for five years. I knew I better just quit
looking and take it home. If I ever find a brand new 45 in the future, I will try to get it, but
this 40 suites me just fine. Also the 40 has one round advantage over the 45. Overall I am
a very happy camper
The only think I don't like about the .40 is that sharp recoil. Ballistics are fine. When they first came out, I wanted one bad...got one, shot about 500 rnds, got rid of it....hated to sell it, but, never wanted once since. That Smith is one fine lookin' weapon, though.....
It's a sweet gun. Might make me a good carry piece. I'm not a fan of the .40 though. A 9mm or 380 is perfectly suitable for CCW duty, and the .45 is timeless.
Thanks fellers. You know it's like I sorta tried to say ealier--I've sorta been luke warm on the 40 thing. Had to carry a Beretta 40 on duty, never really liked it. I really wanted a CS 45,
but just could not seem to find one. I knew this 40 was at my local shop for a long time. I
am thankful that I made the decision to get it. The recoil impulse to me is not as sharp as
the Beretta, don't know why,it just seems that way . Anyway I am real happy with the
gun.
