Best 40S&W pistol….

[88E30M50]

The only time I found .40 to be snappy was if I shot either a G27 or G23 after shooting a bunch of mild 9mm guns. Shoot .40 first and it feels fine.

Shoot .40 in a Sig P226 or P229 and it always feels fine no matter what order you shoot.

Just as the title says…. What is your favorite or preferred handgun chambered in 40S&W. I don’t want to hear how much better 9mm is etc…. Nothin but love for the FOTAY!!!

M&P 40 both Gen 1 qnd 2 for me. But the softest 40 I have is the Beretta 90-Two. Must be the extra weight from an all metal pistol that mitigate a good deal of the recoil.

Im a fan of the S&W 411.
I as well have owned several 40's in various makes/models...but that 411 throws out a smooth bang every time whatever i feed her.

As I had said before, I love my Glock 23, but also like my 22 & my 35. Being somewhere in Law Enforcement since 1972, when I started out with a S&W Mod. 19, I had also a S&W 687 until my armorer at the Sheriff's office, introduced me to the Glock. I was so impressed I changed over and carried the Glock until I retired in Nov. of 2021. I have shot competition with the 40 Cal. as well as Deer hunted with it. I still carry my Mod. 23 and will 'til I pass from this life.

I almost sold my last G23 a while ago. It's my last Glock, and I've been selling them all off since moving to the P229 for carry. Someone suggested that I take it for one last range trip before I sold it, so I did. Instead of selling it, I ended up ordering extra mags and put it back into the carry rotation.

IMHO The G23 is the best Glock made. No .40 collection is complete without one.

Sig p226, hand down!

Sig p226, hand down!

Yup, but the P229 gives it a strong run for its money

 

[glockman23]

Always loved the G23, but my 229 has easily taken its place at the #1 spot. #3 would be my P2000

Sitting in the E MAX theater at Noblesville Town Center tonight, a
Glock Gen 3, G-22 inside shoulder holster as we watch “Plane”.
Life is good.
