It’s still very popular in USPSA limited. Makes major with an advantage in capacity over .45 ACP.
As a LEO round, it didn’t help that some Glock 22s became unreliable when a flashlight was attached.
I look at the current state of the round like revolvers in the 90s. There’s good guns to be had, dirt cheap.
I picked up an unissued LEO trade in G35 for around $450.
The .38/.357 didn’t die and neither will the .40.
