Ditto the HK USP40 which I used to have and wish I still had. I’m glad I still have my Sig P226/40.
I would also include the Walther PPQ and P99 AS in .40S&W
I have owned like 5 or 6 P99 A/S models in 9mm over the years. In 9mm, recoil is not bad. But, they do have a bit more felt recoil than most other 9mms. I wouldn't want ne in 40.
The PX4 in 40 and the Beretta 96 are my two favorite 40s.
