I got out of .40 S&W, when its per-shot recoil became painful to my aging, ailing right wrist. The first step was in Spring 2012, when I starting carrying a 9mm G17 during personal time. I still had to carry the mandated .40 S&W while on duty. The next step was in October 2015, shortly after my chief authorized 9mm as an alternative duty cartridge; G17 and G19 Glocks then became my default handguns for duty and carry.
To be clear, I am not blaming .40 recoil for causing my right wrist's condition, as I fired plenty of .44 and .41 Magnums in the Eighties, and full-pressure .357 Magnums in the Nineties and into the first decade of this century.
As for the narrative of the original post, it reads like a thinly-disguised ad.
