I was at the range yesterday shooting a STOEGER 8040, this is the Turkish made copy of the old BERETTA 8040 pistol in .40 S&W. I shot some 165 grain WINCHESTER fmj and a mix of 180 grain fmj and hollow point. Then I tried some old 155 grain jhp made by REMINGTON and issued when my agency went to the .40S&W over 20 years ago. It reportedly had a velocity of about 1200 fps out of our BERETTA 96D's
WOW. It recoiled harder than I remember. I used to shoot this ammo in BERETTA 96's and SIG 229 pistols and it did not seem that bad. Then the slide locked open with one round still in the magazine. It did that twice in 25 rounds.
Has anyone else had a similar problem with a .40 S&W pistol?
