MK9 vs MK40

[Scarpia]

Oh what thread drift on a very old thread - LOL!
I've got a MK40 Elite that I love.
It's soft shooting and very accurate for such a small gun.
My particular weapon loves 180 gr subsonic ammo

MK9 or MK40? Either will serve you well.
It's Personal Preference really...

Got it...I also shoot 180 grain JHPs in 40 S&W, I consider loading the 40 at the low end of its range for any given powder as a 9mm magnum while loading it at the high end of the range as a 45ACP magnum with 185 grains JHPs. So, you might say the 40 S&W is a three-caliber gun. Anxious to get my MK9 and the search for a K40 is still out there. Stay tuned...

I carried an MK9 for almost nine years. You'll like it................ I also shoot 180 gr. in .40 cal, along with 165 gr. and 155 gr.

I'm basically converting my primary carry guns from plastic to metal with capacity aside (aka: as an excuse to buy guns). The MK9 will be my metal equivalent to the Shield 9 and PM9 even though I have a K9 Elite '98. The K40/MK40 if I ever get one, will be the equivalent to the Shield 40, Springfield XD Mod 2 Compact and Glock 27. I have many carry guns but find myself grabbing the Shields or the Glock before others.

I also load 40's with 165 bullets but not so much with 155. I even have 200 grain JHP and round nose 40 S&W loads.

Finally got the MK9 to the range and pleased to report she loaded, fired and ejected about 50 rounds of 115 grain JHPs (RMR 115 grain "Nukes") charged with both Bullseye and Power Pistol. She put 25 rounds down range at 50 feet within a torso sized area and another 25 into the splatter target at 10 yards. As expected, I really liked the feel and shootability of the MK9.

I'm still on the hunt for an MK40...tough to find out there.

I may grab a PM40 to tied me over, but the search will continue.....
