40 caliber Prodigy

The only market left would be USPSA Limited for 40. And nobody runs 10mm there. Limited and 40 cal s almost dead in USPSA as it is in LE circles.. Carry Optics and several other divisions have made the 40 obsolete with quadruple the participants.

So that said I’d really be surprised if they did an 40 as anyone wanting a 40 and specifically a SA Prodigy is not enough numbers to justify.

Personally, I'm tired of everything in 9mm. Hey how about that .30 super carry? What a flash in the pan that was. It was D.O.A. the moment the first page ad came out.
In my neck of the woods the .40cal cannot even be traded in, they will not take it.

The positive side effect of the 30 Super Carry is all the 32 call bullets made going into 32 H&R and the like for us revolver nerds. Just in time for the intro of the S&W 32 H&R UC snubs and Ruger LCR’s….

So to me good timing!

i feel a tad bit differently.

i am sick and tired of all the calibers out there.

i like 9mm, 45 ACP, 38 special and 357 magnum...and 45 Colt

and for fun....22's in either LR or magnum.

as it is, i only reload for all the above (except) any .22

i think, and i may be wrong, if there was a limit to calibers, there shouldn't be any shortages, and maybe the prices would be even lower..the stock piling at the stores, warehouse, would be tremendous, with just a small fraction of calibers......


or Boolits.
 
I would rather there be a .40 S&W that came with or had aftermarket 9mm and 357 SIG barrels vs a 9mm or even 10mm. I like .40 better than both 9mm, .45, and 10mm for carry as I'm a free thinker, so I haven't jump on the undeserved sheeple hate bandwagon. I personally think it's silly to hate or have disdain for any inanimate projectile. .40 was introduced and basically stepped on the toes of 9mm, .45, and 10mm fanboys, so they all seem to take great joy in pointlessly bashing and hating a great projectile.

Yes, I'm bored with all the plethora of 9mm's. It's like eating chicken or the same exact food each and every day, but prepared a bunch of different ways.

I honestly wouldn’t mind seeing it in .40. Personally I think .40 has its place still like 10MM. Not everyone wants 9MM to shoot. Yes I’m still a newcomer with a little salt in the hair shooter but options are nice. Plus I think there will be another ammo crisis or another situation where people will change their mind.

We don't need to speculate , we ready Know .

. In all the recent Ammo Shortages , it's the 9mm that is wiped off the shelves , and emptied out of the supply chain in a matter of days .
 
I don't care what caliber they're good at shooting. I mean I like .40 and shoot it pretty well, but they could be a prodigy at shooting .22LR like 22 Plinster...

Ohhhhh.... wait a second....

well there you go...enough of all the other calibers, and only have the few....there most likely won't be any shortages, like i said.

no need for 27,000 calibers.
 
I like .40, I think it is a great caliber- good ballistics and economical compared to .45 and 10 mm and saddened to see it’s dismise and I like caliber choice and availability. One of my concerns is the idiots who stuff .223, 5.56, .300 blk or .308 and 7.62 in the same hole for instance potentially causing mishaps.
 
Hi,

Welcome to the forum from a retired old noob here in the Wild Wild Upper Midwest. Glad you joined us.

I'm all for choices and free market. Where there's a profit, there's a way. ;)

I have a small armory, currently stocking only six different calibers but seriously looking to add .357 mag to the mix, revolver and lever rifle. I'd like to add others (10mm, 5.7x28, .308, etc.) to expand my fun base but don't really have the time, the need, the space, or the money. I consider myself very fortunate and I'm grateful for what I have. I hope you can find something that scratches your itch. ;)

I guess I'm not in the market for 40 cal. Maybe that makes me part of the problem. Sorry. I hope you don't hold it against me. ;)

Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff

Overdramatic much? There aren't that many semiauto handgun calibers that are still in statistically significant production numbers. Not everyone is happy or just wants to shoot 22lr, 380 ACP, 9mm, 45 ACP, and 10mm.

There would STILL be shortages during panic buying. People would buy up more of the available stock. Even during COVID/Floyd, manufacturers focused on manufacturing top selling and higher demand firearms and ammo, and they STILL couldn't keep up with demand. Manufacturers also are hesitant to overproduce because demand could suddenly drop, like during the Trump Slump, and they're left holding the bag, laying off, and in debt from loans they took to expand.

I do agree. We don’t know when the next “shortage” might be. I have been a few places here in Illinois where firearms are almost scarce and ammo is abundant enough to pick up several boxes. Personally I got into the hobby right after the last shortage and learned to pick up a few calibers. I’m not a fan of 9MM but I do shoot it but I see it as the first to go.
