I have a couple of questions to put to the knowledgeable folks on the forum
I personally like the 40 cal round for CCW and personally do not mind the recoil.
(My current IWB CCW is a Bersa 40 UC)
I very much want to train my family on all my hand guns, and what happens is my teenage son and I both do fine with the 40s, BUT...... my wife HATES it, as well as my daughter (she's 13 and light as a feather)
When not shooting with the family, I would of course go back to my 180 grain "normal" ammo
So now to my questions
1) I usually shoot 180 grain 40 cals. I see some Speer lawman at 155 grain.
Should I expect to get LESS recoil from a lighter bullet?
I am not a reloader, so my options do not include making my own bullet.
2) Are there other brands of less recoil ammo for 40 that you are aware of?
If I cant come up with a solution, I may have to step to a 9mm. I am thinking of selling one of my 40s
If it cant be done
