Wow, did the market swallow these things up, just month ago CDNN sports had over a 100 .40 barrels. Now that don't have any, I guess I snoozed and lost.
Law enforcement agencies issue a handgun & cartridge combo, but cops are able to carry a gun & cartridge combo that is agency approved. There might be agencies that don't allow individual cop discretion when it comes to on-duty carry. I don't know of any. For instance, while the FBI has apparently decided to issue handguns chambered for the 9MM, its cops can buy & carry other gun & cartridge combos that are approved.
Just a guess: less than 50% of FBI cops will carry their agency's issued handgun.
My P239 is chambered for the .40 S&W, which ain't far behind the venerated .45 ACP. I do own a 3" 1911 9MM. The .40 S&W is a more powerful cartridge. The trade off is fewer rounds. My EMP 3 is easier to carry. But I prefer the .40 S&W vis-a-vis the 9MM.
A Utah black bear guide told me that the .40 S&W tears up black bears. And he crawls into bear caves to get 'em out. That dude had a huge set of juevos...and a lot of faith in his .40 S&W.
I guess I didn’t realize how lucky I was when I traded one of my 45 acp Sigs for a nearly new 239 SAS 40 S&W with a fitted Barsto 9mm and OEM 357 Sig barrel. It makes a very nice three caliber pistol.
Were I to run across a P239 in .357 Sig. I think that combo is the best investment. While I'm indifferent to the .357 Sig, I do believe fewest P239s were chambered for it, which is an indicator of increased demand in the investment market.
