SouthernGunner - I've got a PM40 and it is sparky, after two or three magazines at the range. But I didn't buy it to get range time, I bought it to save my life. When I have but five in the magazine and one in the chamber I want one of those to stop Mr BadGuy. That's why I only carry .40s. Is that a good enough reason to get the 40? I think, yes!
