In .40 Smith? Ya got alotta choices, fer sure.

Especially, if price is not an issue. GL and Good Hunting!

(P.S. It doesn't hurt to go to a range that rents' pistols, and try a few out before you buy.)

Is this a professional purchase? One to use in your line of work?

Also, we need a bit more info. Is this mainly a concealed carry piece? Does overall size matter more than accuracy?

A lot depends on how it will be used. The long barrels are better for accuracy, the shorts for concealability for example.

You know me....  Gotta put Glock on the table...

Here are the Glock .40S&W models:  (prices depends alot on locality..)

Glock Model 22 - Standard size  ~ $525
Glock Model 23 - Compact size ~ $475
Glock Model 27 - SubCompact size ~ $425
Glock Model 35 - 5" Tactical size ~ $600

Glock Model Reference

Excellent reliability, rugged, accurate.  But according to several people on this board they are "ugly".  I think they are quite attrctive firearms.

Ps.  And the suggestion to visit a range that rent pistols is an EXCELLENT suggestion!!

Like Toad said, usage determines what would be the best model and brand. What do you intend to do with it?

[Wolf14]

If size isnt an option, Im partial to the HK USP .40, but if frame size matters do like Storch and Karaya said and get the compact.

[Rollins]

If price isn't an issue, send me ten grand and I'll mail you a .40

Ah, seriously, I'd look into an HK USP, Sig-Sauer or Springfield.  I'm very confident and comfortable with all of those companies and their products.

The reason for the Compact USP Heater is simple.   It is reliable, accurate out of the box.   But, it has a longer barrel than most "compacts" and is still smaller the full size pistols.   It is the "happy medium" and not bulky to carry either.

This is the best advice, depending on the size you want.  Glocks don't malfunction with mediocre care or better.

Of course, I prefer an HK, but there is some sentiment in that.  I have the USP tactical and compact in 45.....which is a superior round.

Springfield XD.

If price is not a problem.. Took a tour of their shop a month ago and quality and craftsmanship is A+..

[Dago]

I strongly recommend you look at the Sig line of .40s.

If you want a 1911 Kimber has some in .40. ParaOrdinance also might be worth looking at along with what others have posted.
