    The standard production load pressure (SAAMI specs) for 10mm is 37,500 psi while the 40 cal is 35,000 psi. Put a +P rated load in a 40 and you are back to around 37,000 psi to 38,000 psi. Same bullet, same pressure, but the faster powder can make it shoot different. From that angle, the 40 +P can pack the same firepower, but it doesn't seem as accurate overall as the 10mm and 41 mag for the same energy.

    On the other hand, Briley makes a 1911 in 40 that is very accurate and nice to shoot, but those guys don't count when you talk 'generally'.

    It's all in what you shoot best.

            I checked out what I am remembering as an H&K P30 9mm this weekend. Other than the rear mounted hammer drop, it seemed very nice, with the 'nice' price of $985.

I think I've narrowed it down to the Glock and the S&W, with the Glock slightly ahead at the moment because it has a .22LR conversion kit available. With that being said, however, I read somewhere that the internals of the S&W are very similar to the Glock so my question is: anyone think a Glock conversion kit would work on the S&W? I'm guessing no, but as I haven't seen the internals of either pistol, I honestly have no idea.

                there is also a .50 cal kit for glocks too.
