$390 is not much higher than what I paid for XD40 pistols 15 years ago.
Of the last 5 pistols I purchased, 3 have been 40s. My main carry guns are 40s unless I have the 9mm conversion barrel. I carry the 40 as it is the largest, easy to acquire, cartridge that fits in that size frame. I'm a pessimist and do not believe bullets will always work as advertised and am of the old school that a 9mm can expand to 40 caliber but a 40 will not shrink downward. Bigger is better within reason and if a 45 ACP could be fit in the same frame and have a similar capacity I would carry it instead.
