40 cal is very popular in my neck of the woods. 40 cal ammo is hard to get. The perceived recoil in some pistols is snappy, in others, not so much. The PX4 Storm full size in 40 cal w/ a Hogue HandAll is not snappy to me and very comfortable. In fact, for me, it has a smoother perceived recoil than my SR9 full size 9mm w/o a Hogue HandAll grip. Then again, you find the same analogies made for the P238 and Bersa Thunder 380's when compared to the TCP and LCP 380's in the perceived recoil comparisons. I have fired 38 revolvers that hurt and don't even come close in the ease of shooting as the PX4 stated above. Then again, I have fired 38's that were comfortable.
