Overated????? the cartridge has been proven time and time again for nearly 100 years..... how long has your 40 been around???? 45 acp is still the primary choice for the seals and special and many LE agencies. theres nothing wrong with a 40 smith just dont go knockin the 45 acp. now if you want to talk overated the 45 GAP is slightly overated LOL honestly the 45 gap has no place unless glocks gonna try to replace the 40 smith withit becasue its ballsitics, bullet weights and performance are no different then a 40 smith other then its a larger diameter.
