Regarding protection against bears and big cats, although I know a .40 will kill a big ass male lion, and the 10 mm would do it several steps farther away, I will have shat my drawers regardless of the stopping distance of said predator from reaching me and converting my wonderful sense of humor into bear shit (Big cat shit, etc..). When a big cat notices you, it stops, looks you over, makes some calculations and then heads your direction, speeding up as it gets closer. Kind of unsettling! :D

I want one of these because "Fuck you; that's why!"

I think like most things in the firearms/shooting hobby I'm a victim of myself seeing something new and wanting it. I could easily get the G40's velocity/kE improvements by just getting a 6" drop in barrel for my G20 and calling it good.

I could see your decision to get rid of your G20 as being very rational if you don't hunt or need a back country protection piece for large animals.

I also have found it fun for distance shooting since it's such a flat shooting round compared to .40SW. I'll admit to not having much experience shooting 9mm pistols, so I'm not sure how the 9mm's trajectory at distances past 60m.
