what is the advantage of .40 cal?

.40 cal makes much bigger hole than 9 mm.... My .380 and my .32 make little tiny bb holes in comparison. I've never been real clear on the difference between .380 and 9mm, but I believe the rounds are about the same size, except the 9mm is longer. (If I'm wrong, I'm sure someone here will correct me.) I have to be real careful when I'm shooting both the .380 and .32 to make sure I load the correct ammo in the correct weapon.

In contrast, the rounds for my shiny new Glock 27 .40 caliber are unmistakably larger.

I agree that aesthetically the Glock is no beauty. I've never liked the "boxy" look they have. But I'm accurate as he** with it. I can hit anything I point it at.

You'll like Florida's shall-issue carry permit law. So long as you complete the paperwork, get fingerprinted and pass the background check (oh, and send money), you *will* get your permit. No one has any discretion to turn you down.

Also, we have lots of gun shows here!

Went out gun shopping today, and held a bunch of Glocks, including the 27, couldn’t believe how light it was compared to the Beretta 96 which is also 40 Cal. But, when the salesman put the Beretta 92 FS Brigadier in my hand, my search had ended. Side-by-side the difference to me was like comparing a Volkswagen to a Ferrari. The other pistol that felt right was the Kimber 45, but you could get two Glocks for what the Kimber cost.
