The 40 in a subcompact is just too snappy for me. I've never even fired a 40, but watching videos, you can see the gun jump real hard. The full size would be better I think. The 9mm sub would be fine though. Keeps on target better, the ammo is half the price, and it's quieter.

lol figures i just got my sr9c.....

BH, i have the M&P 40c and it's not bad at all.

Wimp! Click on Angelina to hear what she thinks.

The .40 does snap some in light guns with the 180 grain bullets but I don't think it is quite as bad as 230 grain .45 ACP in that Officer Model Colt. They both stop being fun after a few magazines. The lighter bullets may have a sharper report and more flash but they don't sting as much. With the service type guns the .40 is fine.

I'll have to try one just once. Maybe I'll get a new Glock.

I actually looked at the SR9 and SR9C, before choosing the Glock. The SR9 fits the hand real well and points nice, but the trigger felt funny.

Since you like the Glock it would seem the best choice. especially as it comes in all sizes. The .40s are very common as police trade-ins. You couldn't ask for a more rugged or reliable platform.

.40 S and W= .40 Short and Weak.

That's not true, Tim.

Mac, my local always has the police trade ins. I looked at some a couple of weeks ago. The problem is, they are full size and I'd rather have a compact. Although the full size would be a good gun for my bag. I could also get a 9mm barrel and have 2 guns in one for fairly cheap.

Would the G17 mags fit the full size 40? I guess they would, huh?

...G17 is the full 9...G22 is the full .40...Midsize is 23...if I had to carry a Glock...and .40...it'd be the 23...if I had to carry a Glock 9, it'd be the 19...best size/capacity compromise...I'd personally go from the .45 to the 9 and skip the .40...didn't like my G22 and don't care for the round...satisfied that the hotter 9 rounds will be fine, if needed...

if they would market it with a lanyard ring it would be a slam dunk.........!!!

...then you could walk it on a leash...now that's appropriate for that'n...
