I've bought two of these.

the nice thing is the rebate deal now going through April 1st. Buy an M&P and get 2 extra mags and a 50 dollar rebate.

I got the .40 and my wife got the 9mm.

How does the 40 compare to the 9 and the 10mm? I remember the 10 was quite powerful, it went through trees.

Do you have the M&P40 or the M&P40 Compact?

I got the .40 and my wife got the 9mm.

Apropos of nothing in particular, why is everyone jumping all over 9mm Parabellum when an American chambering, .38 Super, was an IPSC fave for years, performs about the same as 9mm or a little better (closer to .40 S&W), and "should" be suitable for your wife and you both?

I'm no expert, I'm just asking. And yes, I understand Glock doesn't offer the .38 Super chambering.

There certainly seem to be a lot of offerings and re-configurations of the basic .38 lead ball, from .380/9mm "Kurz" to 9mm Largo and .357 Sig. Why all this historical fine-tuning of the same basic round?
