Best .40 Cal for zombie killing?

[Guest USMC 2013]

The reason I am asking this about a .40 Cal is so I can use it (hopefully never need to) for self defense against humans too. So please, no debate on caliber, just manufacturers.

1. Accuracy will be paramount, as I'll be taking 100% head shots!

2. Magazine compacity would probably be next since I don't want to go down under a swarm of the biting b*sT@#$s!

3. Reliability, don't want an ill timed jam, refer back to #2 for reason.

4. I want a fullsize, but still need to consider ease of carry in a typical belt holster.

5. and insert what you think would be important to consider.

I'm seriously looking at getting a semi-auto .40, full size and need some suggestions. Have fun and thanks for furture responses. Semper Fi,

Joe

Don't own one but I'll say Glock as I'm sure others will as well.

[Garufa]

Glock 22 with some 22 round mags.

You'll hear all kinds of opinions, but my vote would go to the Smith & Wesson M&P .40 S&W.

[Guest ochretoe]

I have carried the S&W and now the Glock, both in .40. I have never had any trouble out of either if they were clean. With the Glock you can use 22 round or aftermarket 30 round clips. If I had to pick one it would be my Glock. I did qualify better with my S&W every time so I give accuracy to the Smith. The Glock clips work in my sub2000 which is a big bonus for me.

Either a glock 22 or an xdm 40

Maybe a browning hi power in 40

I have a Steyr M40 that is a dream to shoot but never took off here. It's a lot like the Glock, it's polymer framed, but has a fully supported chanber. The trapiziodial sights are easy to align. I got a 100% on my ccw target with it. I know getting 100% is not hard, but I finished every stage before everyone else did.

Another 40 that I like is the Sig P226. DA/SA. It's more expensive than the Steyr though. The Glock is a good one but I've not have a lot of time with it.

Best .40 Cal for zombie killing? Mine! Sig P229 & Glock 22.

I guess I voted when I bought an IMI Baby Eagle 15 years ago! The ORIGINAL IMI, not the inferior copy.

[UncleJak]

Glock 23 for me

[DaveTN]

Another vote for the M&P. I have the full size, Compact and Shield in 40.

Accurate, reliable, excellent fit and finish, and made here by an American company.

Smith & Wesson Military & Police semi auto in .40 Smith & Wesson of course. Very accurate, very reliable, lightweight zombie killin gun. In my opinion, also the most ergonomic pistol out there. Thats important when you'll be shooting all day taking out hordes of zombies.

M&P40. Everything metal is stainless inside and out, parts, sights, holsters, and trigger upgrades are as abundant as anything out there. Ergonomics are excellent, American made, and full lifetime warranty. I just don't like Glock ergonomics, but if I had to have a Glock (and I've had several) would be the 23.

CZ 75 SP01 tactical for me.

+1 for the G22 and KelTec Sub 2000. Add the G23 and you're all set.

[Shug]

Got a Ruger P94 in .40 I've never had a any kind of loadin, fireing, or ejecting issues of any kind. No matter what kind of ammo I feed her,she shines through

[hipower]

G24, followed by the G22 and the G23.

[Guest rebeldrummer]

M&P 40...

[~48_South~]

Most accurate handgun I have ever owned out the box is hands down the CZ 75 Tactical Sport mine was 9mm but it also comes in 40, full size mega accurate,best trigger ever, 16 round capacity in 40 and 20 round in 9mm.

[Erik88]

G23 Gen 4

[jtmaze]

Xdm40 with trigger upgrade.

Although I've made the decision to only buy new American Made firearms, I'd recommend a G22. Police trade-ins are priced low, and I'm fairly certain it is the most common law enforcement caliber&pistol. Glock 40's pack the most rounds in the smallest package, although not my preference, the G23 I owned was reliable and accurate.
