Hello,
I live in NJ and purchasing handguns here is limited to only one a month and requires permit applications each time (pain in the a**) so I want to make sure I make the right choice. Renting before buying is not an option because there are no ranges near me with rentals.
I have a number of 9mm pistols which I shoot very well but want to add a 40 cal. to my collection. I did borrow a Glock 22 once and shot it well but feel that the Glock 23 is more similar in hand feel to my G19 which I like a lot.
What I am looking for is the "softest shooting" 40 that feels as close to a 9mm (muzzle flip/recoil) as possible. Below are the pistols I am considering and I am looking for opinions on which comes closest to what I'm looking for.
Glock 23
Beretta Px4 Storm
Beretta 96FS
HK USP compact
Sig P229
Sig P226
Smith & Wesson M&P
I appreciate any opinions offered, even if describing a pistol not on my list. Thank you all in advance.
