The .40S&W is a hot round, no doubt about it. However, I have not noticed any additional wear and tear on my XD. I do note that the US military is unhappy with the 9mm. They want a round with more stopping power. I think the .45ACP is the best self defense round. In the modern era of high capacity magazines, I think the .45ACP is the best all defense round. Do you really want to have to shoot someone multiple times to put them out of action. Do you really want to have them get those couple of extra rounds off because you have to shoot them 2-3 times to get the job done?
I think the rounds are in in order of caliber... Note the FBI was doing it primarily to reduce wear and tear cost of the hotter round. Also note, NATO 9mm is hotter than normal 9mm, and the Army still finds it wanting.
