I should clarify what I mean by "hot".

I made a 48 pound triple recoil spring assembly for my Glock 19 9mm.
The slide accelerates forward so fast the magazine spring can't push up a round, and the trigger cannot reset.
So I put two magazine springs in parallel and a New York trigger.

The stock Glock spring worked well with:
147 gr 5 gr Power Pistol

CAUTION: The following post includes loading data beyond currently published maximums for this cartridge. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. Neither the writer, The Firing Line, nor the staff of TFL assume any liability for any damage or injury resulting from use of this information.

The 48 pound triple recoil spring, double mag spring, and NY trigger work well with:
147 gr 7 gr Power Pistol.

But I want to shoot:
147 gr 11 gr Power Pistol

So what I have is a handgun that I am one of the few guys strong enough to chamber a round or load a magazine, and yet I have to put up with terrible slide slamming into the frame. It hurts, and the cases fly a long ways.

Of course "hot" loads in 40sw are much worse for recoil.
