The .40 Short & Weak?
The 40 Smth and Wesson is a great backup cartridge, and you'rea guy with a really bad temper. Just realize, that you're in a hunting forum, and your suggestion mght not be the best, that's true for all of us, so instead of mocking other people's guns that they're proud of, just kindly suggest otherwise or shut the crap up!!!!
I've got a bad temper and I need to shut the crap up??? hahahahahahaha...

Dude, I was joking in part. The .40 isn't a bad cartridge. Lots of guys use them in IPSC matches, and that's where I picked up the "short & weak" reference. In competition circles, that is a common joke. That's all. The .40 is a nice compromise between the 9mm and the .45 acp for a carry gunand for self defense against angry humans. But, I just think I'd want a bit more if I had an angrybear chasing me up a tree because, frankly, I can't climb very fast. Hence my recommendation that I like the .45 but, if using a .40 caliber the 10mm would be better.
