11-12-2011 04:37 AM  .40 SW, where is it used? I've come up with
a theory on why 9mm beats .40 SW and .45 ACP. The theory states
that 9mm is more readily available world wide since it is NATO,
so if WW3 or the Zombie Apocalypse ever happened, there would be
more 9mm ammo circulating around and easier to get your hands
on.  Now this made me think about the .40 SW and made me wonder
if it is used in other countries....I always believed it was
just a police round used exclusively in the US, but maybe you
can tell me,is the .40 SW cartridge used in other countries? or
just the US?  Much thanks   robocop10mm 11-12-2011 04:42 AM
Unless you plan on sitting out the zombie apocolypse in, say,
Germany it is a moot point. The real consideration is what
caliber of ammo will be readily available in your area. .40 S&W
is very popular with LE and many civilians in many areas of the
USA.  JonM 11-12-2011
