are you wanting the metal or just a heavier 40? m/p has a poly 2.0 in 40. any specific barrel length(s)?

I’m just wanting something different than Glock for a .40 S&W. The only fanboy I’ll be is for compact size.

so, you want the 4" rather than the 4.22-4.25"

Actually found an Illinois legal XDm. For some reason I was looking at all the wrong places again.

I’ll admit I been wanting one but was getting distracted because of the magazine count (Illinois only allows 15 rounds). Yes I know I mentioned a .40 S&W but 10MM has a sweet spot still.

I'd like to see more 40S&W options.

So would I. Personally it’s not so easy finding a .40 like any others.

I heard they are good
There are plenty of slightly used police trade in Sig 226/229 40’s that could ba an alternative for around 400
Check out aim surplus
That said out of the choices of new guns if I wanted a 40 you said 800 was a lot but the M&P either metal or polymer then a HK USP would be my 2 choices since they were originally engineered for 40
I think that last 3 or 4 state police agencies running 40 are California (M&P 2.0) and Illinois and MD (Glock 22) and SD (Sig 226) but Illinois is changing to 9mm this year

Illinois is going with the Glock. Yes the M&P40 M2.0 metal is nice but it’s around 800 dollars (yes I tried it played with it at the gun shop I get some of my ammo) and I already have 2 M&P’s. The Glock 23 is gets range time and carry time. I looked into SA but I’m on the fence with it since I want the XDm elite in 10MM. I expressed my thoughts about the Glock 22 Gen 5 non MOS and the Glock 20 is to bulky in my book.

Bingo. I just picked up a used (although you cannot tell) P229 that was “reconditioned “ at Sig for $500. Only had one magazine, but they aren’t hard to source.
