I love my M&P 40C it is my EDC. I like having the weight of 180gr and the velosity of 1010 fps. Higher capacity than .45 and harder hitting than 9mm.

It is a lot snappier than my .45 so I am not sure where the talk about it being weak came from. Yes it is weaker than the 10mm but that is a hot round. A quick comparison betweent he three is below

.40 S&W 180gr 1010fps
10mm. 180gr 1030fps
.45 Auto 230gr. 900fps.

So for me I felt like the lighter but much faster bullet was better, then throw in the extra capacity and it looked much better. Add to that 2 more rounds in the Compact M&P line and it was an easy choice.

The only other caliber I would like to get to know better is the .357Sig. 125gr at 1350fps.
