There is a big problem with the Beretta .40 though... they took the 9mm and resized the barrell to handle the .40 round. After you put a thousand or so rounds through the weapon and it loosens up, the larger .40 cal round has a tendency to get stuck on the loading ramp. You'll have to field strip the weapon in order to clear the jam. Not very practical in a live fire situation.

This is why our department got rid of our .40 Berettas...
