We aren�t enthused about what appears to be an accelerating ride off into the sunset. The pony in question is �technology,� and the rider, the not-so-venerable �.40 S&W.� Light bullets or heavy, .40 S&W is suited to many tasks. We hope our gloom is premature, tinged with guilt as it is. As early adopters of the 10 mm, we concede the appearance of the .40 �Short and Weak� (as it was often derided in the early �90s) evoked no enthusiasm. We were not, shall we say, subdued in offering that opinion, either.

When Alfred Olango pulled out an object from his right pocket last month and assumed a shooting stance in a strip mall parking lot in a San Diego suburb, one officer opened fire with his pistol.
