40s and 9s 

Where you can buy 40oz st. dies and 9mm ammo. Like a 7 and 11 convenient store. Used in "Don't Be A Menace To South Central" movie.
40s and 9s, my favorite convenient store!

7-Tel Rollin’ 40s Neighborhood Crips 

Detroit branch of the LA Rollin’ 40s, mostly around Grand River & Telegraph to 6 Mile (“Parcside Zone”). Allied with Rollin’ 60s, 113 OBC, and Rollin’ 100s; rivals with 5Point Nation, Hyena Crips, 107 Hoovers, and Black P. Stones.

A handgun cartridge that is very popular for self-defense and is increasingly being used in police service pistols. Smith and Wesson developed the .40 S&W round off of the 10mm round in order to fill a large gap in stopping power between the 9mm and a .45 ACP. Unlike other rounds, .40 S&W bullets feature a flat tip as opposed to a smooth conical tip as seen in a 9mm. The bullets were designed this way so more surface contact will be made with the bullet's target. The .40 travels at very high velocities, giving the shooter quite a bit of recoil when the gun is fired. However, this additional velocity makes the bullet ideal for shooting through light cover such as car doors or windshields.

Data compiled from police shooting incidents put the .40 S&W at a 96% chance of stopping an attacker with one shot, proving it's value as a formidable defense cartridge. Cheaper than .45 ACP rounds, yet just as effective in getting the job done, the .40 S&W has seen great commercial success.
Guns chambered in .40 S&W are an excellent choice for self-defense.
