[QUOTE="Ethan N, post: 3213091, member: 29267"] After reading similar articles a few months back, evaluating terminal ballistics data for modern defensive rounds in various calibers, and seeing the FBI and other LEAs starting to transition to 9mm, I decided to make the switch from .40 to 9mm for EDC for me and my wife as soon as I can afford it. Wife doesn’t carry yet, but she hates firing my .40. As someone whose EDC is a Glock 27, I can confirm .40 S&W in a sub-compact is not enjoyable to fire. I wouldn’t call it “brutal,” and it’s certainly manageable with training and practice, but a Glock 26 does feel [I]significantly[/I] less snappy to me and follow up shots are easier to get on target. This wasn’t a big factor in my decision to switch to 9mm, but I have to say I’m looking forward to giving my wrists a bit of a break. [/QUOTE]
