There is no specific number available for the total production of the 40 caliber mk 4 series 80 government models. Production numbers for firearms can vary widely and may not be publicly disclosed by manufacturers.
The correct term is cartridge, not bullet- and the answer will depend on WHICH .40 caliber pistol.
The .40 caliber fires a larger, more powerful cartridge than the 9mm. which is about .35 caliber. Minor additional info: Many models of pistols that are available in 9mm or .40 are otherwise the same, except for caliber. For instance, a Glock 19 and a Glock 23 are the same exact guns, but the 19 is a 9mm and the 23 is a 40...the 23 holds 2 less rounds.
The most common in the U.S. I believe is the Glock 23, but Sigs, and other models are common also.

"My pistol is .40 caliber." "We were fortunate to find a manager of his caliber."
Yes, a 45 caliber bullet is bigger than a 40 caliber bullet. A .45 is0.45 inches wide in diameter and a .40 is 0.4 inches in diameter.
@ .05 inches
The model 19 is a 9mm only proposition. The model 19 is not available in .40 caliber, but the model 23 is the same size gun and it is a .40 caliber gun. Some people would say that the model 23 is the .40 caliber version of the model 19.
