No one is saying it's dead. It won't be dead.

Someone said it will come back. That isn't going to happen. Current prices seem to indicate there will be increasing less new 40 guns designed. Look at the 20mm Sig X-Ten. Still no true compact built frame. Number 1 gun P365 still no 40.

For about 2 years, Vista CEO that is almost all US ammo said they were only making 9mm during the pandemic buying.

That's the popularity contest. 9mm is king. That's all. This isn't saying 357mag is dead either.

Problem with this idea is it's not got a defined outcome. There aren't many calibers you can't buy, 38 Super from a previous thread where there aren't many guns, ammoseek has a ton of ammo.
