The 9×19mm Parabellum (also known as 9mm Luger, 9mm NATO or simply 9mm) was originally designed by Austrian firearm designer Georg Luger in 1901. So basically we're talking about a cartridge that's well over 100 years old. Yes, there have been great improvements in 9mm cartridge design since then, but it's still about as old as the .38 Special cartridge. Whereas the .40 S&W (10.2×22mm) was developed jointly by American firearms manufacturers Smith & Wesson and Winchester in 1990. It was engineered from its inception to be a modern, high pressure (35,000 psi), high performance (468 ft⋅lb) self-defense cartridge. Just because the 9mm is currently in vogue doesn't negate the superior ballistic performance of the .40 S&W.
