Hey thanks for the tip. Thats what I was thinking too, I was looking at cost right now.Buy the gun in the caliber you like. You can find 9mm ammo if you’re diligent and ready to buy when you see it.
.40S&W is typically more expensive to shoot than 9mm. The exceptions are (1) if you reload or (2) being in crazy times like we are now. Times won’t always be this crazy.
Before all this nonsense started, guns in .40S&W were much harder to sell than the same gun in 9mm. Police trade-ins in .40 were downright cheap to buy. There were gun stores that wouldn’t even take a .40 in on trade because they knew it would sit for a long time before selling.
I like Berettas too. Not sure they make a bad gun, although the Pico might test that theory.
