The SpecOps community is favoring 45acp. I haven't seen or heard of anyone in the military using 40 cal.

45 all the way!! 9mm is too light.

"I haven't seen or heard of anyone in the military using 40 cal."
Then check out the U.S. Coast Guard. And, the correct cartridge designation is "40 S&W".

Man, that sucks.
I *USED* to carry that H&K. It fell over board along with my deer rifle (Mossberg .270) and my Joe Biden Special (Remington 870 Super Mag) when my cousin and I went fishing in the Gulf.
/shame, wasn’t it?

Coasties, while considered military, are more like water cops. They also don’t report to the Pentagon.
As far as the 40 S&W I don’t care. Apparently you understood my point enough to understand it. Oh and 40 cal is good enough for Glock:

"Oh and 40 cal is good enough for Glock"
So, you are going to use an example of professional immaturity and spite to bolster a false argument?
Ruger danced that tune for awhile by marking their pistols chambered for the "40 S&W" as "40 Auto", an imaginary, non-existent cartridge. Neither company wanted to give Smith & Wesson proper recognition for the cartridge development.
Small minds can be found in strange places.
