If you specifically want a 40 S&W you can buy one (Glock)used from any local gun store...police trade ins - lots and lots of them from $300 up.
Personally, I drew the line on the types of ammo I have and decided I didn’t want to have to stock 40 S&W too....
This is an aside. I once had a Taurus PT111 Millenium that dropped the damned magazine each time it was fired - brand new gun!. I never bought anything Taurus again.
Taurus does have a lifetime transferable warranty.
I posted, then started reading the replies on this thread. I said the same thing as you..so now I know the dropping the magazine while you're shooting thing wasn't just me and my daughter.
The way the mag release was situated, it was right where your left thumb sweeps across it. I, too, have steered clear of anything from Taurus since then.
