After the feel test then go shoot your top 3 or 4 about a mag each with a few rounds two handed on and off hand and then a few one handed shots in each hand to see how it shoots for you. Then you should be set on your choice. If the .40 is your choice its a good one dont get me wrong I just like knowing I can get ammo when I want it. On a side note I just bought my first revolver and it has opened a whole new world of shooting to me. You can find an XD, Glock, M&P for about the cost of 2 boxes of cigars and the gun will last a lifetime. The gun helps ensure you last a life time as well.

I also vote for a pistol. Been seeing your recent pick ups and it seems like you have a pretty good stash going anyway.
I own a .45 and .40 and find in my area at least that .40 ammo is by far the easiest to pickup with 9mm slowly becoming more readily available but not as much as the .40 round. Around here at least I can run out and get .40 ammo whenever I want but .45 is just about impossible to find unless I am looking to overpay and when I do find it I am spending more than what I want to stock up. I would just research what ammo is easily accessible for you where you will be living.
