Because it's 20lbs of crap in a 1lb bag. It's like putting a V8 in a Volkswagen.
So it's becomes unmanageable in my opinion. If I can't have a .45 I'll take a 9 any day.
The 9 got a bad rep because of the military and their use of ball rounds. With today's technology on hollow points the differences are negligible.
I'd rather hit with a nine then miss with a .40.
Now mind you I took Top Gun at the academy with. .40 (P229). So I can shoot anything, but overall I dislike it and sold all my .40's except for the 229.
Just my 2 cents. Take it for what it's worth.
Now mind
