[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 3212796, member: 1132"] TBH, it depends on the gun. I had a Beretta 96 and the recoil on it was very unpleasant. Like it was unlocking too soon or the recoil spring wasn't stout enough, coupled with the alloy frame and low slide weight? With 165gr defense loads it was downright unpleasant compared to even my alloy framed 1911 .45 ACP or a Glock 19 shooting +P+ loads. OTOH, I had an all steel Star Firestar .40 compact and it was a complete pussycat with the same loads. Still, I prefer 9mm and .45 ACP so much over .40 that I don't even own one anymore. [/QUOTE]
