The wife goes off like an A-Bomb every time I mention Re-Load, so I guess I'll just get a heavier gun and a good pair of gloves. Thanks for the input.If you reload, you might try a 200grain 40cal bullet. Less powder than your typical 165 or 180. The felt recoil is less. Or get a heavier gun.
I need a 40 with a lot less recoil than the S&W D 40.. This 23 oz. gun is a shhoter, but it's WRECKING my hand. Which would be a tamer pistol in 40 caliber for me?
If the 45 had a higher cap. It might work. I like the 9's I've owned many makes many models, just looking for a nice gentle (oxymoron) 40.
The full-sized Glock pistols are some of the mildest recoiling .40 pistols I've ever shot. That, and a Beretta 96.

I agree, I have a G22 full size Glock in .40 and it's not that bad in my opinion. I have also shot the Berreta and it's a good heavy gun as well, soaks up a lot of the recoil!
Diametrically opposed to my former Kahr CW-40. Ouch! And my Walther P99... interesting recoil on that one. sharp, up, and even wanted to torque to the side a bit (may just be wrist-alignment when shooting 1-handed, though)
