I would have thought Thompsons would be more intimidating,
and just plain cooler looking.

I believe the .40 chambers are fully supported in the latest generation Glocks. I’m a Springfield kind of guy myself.

Or the Springfield XD, or S&W M&P series. Springfields have articulated trigger, grip and internal block safeties. You can carry in Cond. 1 in a secure holster without worrying about any unintended bangs.
