Yep, another "help me" thread. That's ok, though, as I do enjoy learning new things and learning from others' experiences. My heart was broken today, as I had it set on getting a Glock 23 4 gen. I had a chance to shoot a 3rd gen today and now I'm not so sure. It wasn't an accuracy problem, but the recoil was far more than I thought it would be compared to other .40s I've shot. It actually hurt my hand somewhat. Nothing intolerable I suppose, but am I really going to want to spend a lot of time practicing with it? It's a shame as I had a chance to walk around the store the other day with it tucked in a Crossbreed Supertuck holster. Concealed great and didn't bother me at all. I really wanted this gun.
An interesting option I found today is the FNX .40. It appears to be very similar in size to the 23, and I'm sure would disappear just as well in a Crossbreed. But I didn't get a chance to shoot it. Other .40s I've shot that weren't too bad to me are the Beretta PX-4 and the Sig 229, although the Sig seemed the "chunkiest" of them all. But keep in mind that my shooting of these guns was very limited. I would be interested in hearing more about them or others from those that have owned them and have shot them a significant amount of time.
So what says experienced .40 shooters? Anyone try the FNX? This is something I plan on carrying concealed, and as long as it can conceal in something like the Crossbreed I'm not sure size is an issue. I do want to add here that while the M&P handles the .40 well to me, I don't care for the trigger. And I haven't cared much for the basic XD models I've shot, but haven't tried the XDM yet. All opinions are welcome; thanks!
