Trying to pick a CCW I think I've narrowed it down to three

It really is true, OP IS a faggot

I hear the PX4 in 40 S&W in particular has very mellow recoil, and 180+ grain 40 SW is a cakewalk.

Nope. I'm really wanting to know which model manages 40 S&W best. /k/ just inherently shits on 40 S&W so I put a preface, but now you're making me reconsider.

>>33994588
Well I carry a PT100 and throw a PT99 slide on it for 9mm.
147gr 9mm and 180gr 10mmFBI (.40) shoot about the same from the same frame.

don't buy a .40 anon you are making a mistake no matter how much you think you aren't.
if you absolutely MUST HAVE a .40 """""""""built"""""""""" for .40 buy a USP and never look back.
Beretta PX4 is garbage, the SR series is officially dead in the water, and the Steyr is snowflake as fuck (but otherwise completely respectable. you will have trouble finding holsters / magazines / etc)

Taurus Beretta clone? Have not considered it. Thanks for the helpful input, I'll look into reviews.

>USP
A lot of tradeins for USPs at a good price. I've shot 40 S&W before in a glock, honestly /k/'s opinions are overblown. From what I can manage, what I intend to train at the range, and what I've seen on youtube, there's a reason I haven't been scared off by memes.

It's just not worth the lower capacity imo. the fbi switched back for a good reason. but it will kill people just as dead, so more power to you.
I've owned many guns in .40 but they always work their way out of my collection. The USP Tac that I owned was probably my favorite out of the bunch.

>>33994666
The capacity hit isn't that significant to me. I see it as a minor reduction in capacity for a significant increase in consistency of bodily penetration. If I need more than 8 rounds to stop a porch monkey, then I'd consider myself a failure of the master race. So technically, 45 is still on the table, I just think the frames are marginally too heavy/fat for carry.

>>33994727
do you shoot through auto glass a lot? That's about the only tangible benefit to .40.
My issue is; if we're going to carry a round that sacrifices capacity for power why not go whole hog and carry a G29?

>>33994739
Honestly, what this boils down to is 357 SIG isn't being dumped on the market. I don't intend on a vehicular execution, no, but 40 does better than even 45 ACP against bone and flesh regardless in all tests I've seen.

/k/ arguments only conclude in 10mm vs 380, both of which are overpriced to shoot when everything inbetween also works.

From what I've seen, 40 is +P+ 9mm in a marginally heavier frame in pistols designed for 40 first. That's basically what I'm after. There's boutique rounds, sure, but nothing of that I'd actually stockpile.
