Me personally, I have never owned a firearm in .40 caliber and never will. The ammo for it is too hard to find where as 9mm ammo can be found almost any where. The fbi, fools big idiots tried the .40 and decided it was no better than the 9mm. Your mileage may vary but I will never own a firearm in .40 caliber.

Thanks for reply. Not enamored with 40 cal but have a ton of ammo bought at the right time, if that can sway me ? Still don't know..

If I were you, and I am not, I would sell off the .40 ammo for a profit due to the panic buying going on right now and buy sometihing else more to your liking.

Initially I wanted 40 cal to go w/ existing pistols and ammo that I had bought @ pre panic prices. For several reasons have commited my self to 40. - balistics very close but think heavier 40 edges 9 out.. Anyway going to have Kel-tec convert and appreiciate your comments. Maybe I'll buy another 9mil ? you know where 40 cal ammo is if needed. thanks again.

I own a 9mm version but wish I had a .40...

Thanks for your replly-- sorry to all you 9mm fans--but now a 40 per Keltec... had way too much invested in 40 ammo over the years at the orig price.

I would not be sorry. If it works for you that is all that matters even though it might would not have worked for others.

End of story- went w/ 40 -- had too much Cheap ammo invested in 40 cal.- have 2 other 40's - so thats it-- hope i made right choice . Thanks for all the input.

After reading this thread, I got interested in the 9 to 40 swap. Sent my used 9mm Kel-Tek and got back a new 40 cal one in about 2 weeks from the day I sent it in. After installing all the Mcarbo hardware bits back in the rifle plus Kaw Valley linear compensator, I headed to the range.
WOW! Gun is quieter, smoother, and hits the steel gong with a "crispier" sound. The gun is better in every way! I brought 200 rounds of 40 to the range, thinking I would also practice with my Glock 23(not a fan but one must be proficient with every gun you own, otherwise, why own it in the first place). Well, that G23 never left the holster! I just couldn't get enough of how awesome the rifle has become!
With all this "hating on 40" bull going on, people are missing out on what I am now convinced is the best Sub2K rifle. The best and cheapest(only $40) upgrade you can do to your 9mm Sub2K is 40 cal conversion.
