Personally I would not add a new firearm in .40 caliber. Instead I would look at 9 or 45. Since the FBI has moved from 40, I personally expect it to become the newest 38super, 10mm, ect. Caliber popularity is based two fold military/law enforcement or shooting sports use. Calibers that are “hot” have support in both fields. The 40 does not anymore.
Yes there will always be competitors that want to shoot 40 in uspsa to make powerfactor easier. Those shooter also reload. Much easier to procure ammo. While 10mm and 38 super can be bought at a gun shop, they aren’t readily available at say Wally World. The cost will also be higher per round which will limit “fun time”. If it will be a casual range toy think 9mm. With advancements in ballistic engineering of projectiles it’s also hard to argue its ability as a self defense cartridge. Keep in mind the FBI is arming their Federal agents and local jurisdictions normally follows suit.
Time will tell but, that is my and many others that are in the bizs opinion.
Btw hold on to that 4” Colt. They are in high demand and selling at amazing prices.
