I presently own a 2009 version of the 40c and it’s a great handgun. I like the steel mags, I like the steel Novak sights, I like the way it disassembles (safe), I like the mix of hardened stainless steel parts mixed with high tech polymer (the polymer is stiffer than Glock–more like HK). The 40c is not as compact or a light as the Glock 27. The 40c weighs 1.9ozs more and is 1/4” longer in the barrel and in the grip area–but the 40c handles recoil much better, and seems more accurate in my hands, which could make a real difference in a tactical situation. The 40c is a good compromise between the Glock 23 & 27, the 40c holds 11 and the 27 holds 10. The two styles of mags, 3 interchangeable grip styles, and the interchangeable mag release are a huge advantage (the 40c fits my hand like nothing else, the mag release will make lefties very happy)–and its made in the USA (which is why I gave the 40c another turn). Smith & Wesson has taken the “Glock” to the next logical step–if you are looking to replace a duty of off-duty weapon consider the 40c. By the way a 50,000 round torture test was just accomplished (4/2009)—so it’s tough too.

I feel the 40c Smith & Wesson is an excellent handgun. I purchased mine used with only about 200 rounds through it. Very accurate and comfortable. Would definitely buy another Smith&Wesson.

I just purchased my 40c and have been very happy with it so far, good weight, great caliber and I like the improvements they made on Glocks design. Very impressed
(ps. The picture above is of a 9c not a 40)
