Yeah, I had a buddy that I worked with that had a G33 (baby .357 sig Glock) and the recoil was stouter than my G27 (baby .40 Glock). After shooting my .40 he wished that he had gotten the .40 because the recoil wasn't as bad. And the G27 recoil was not much more than the small G26 9mm.

I shoot 9mm because I can afford to shoot it often and become more proficient w/ my pistol o' choice. 

If money wasn't an issue, I'd go .45ACP.

.40S&W is of no use to me.

I like shooting the .357 Sig in the little bitty Glocks...it causes the fillings to fall out of my teeth...

Then dont shoot a ported XD in 357. It will just make you teeth fall out. I know my brother has one and it is the LOUDEST handgun I have ever handled.

That said I carry a 40 as I am used to it more than my 9. I would carry a 45 but want something more for CCW and my dress. Otherwise I would carry my GB. 18+1 rds of good 9mm HP with a fixed 5" would do the trick!!

IMHO, shoot both and see which one you like better. Then buy some good HP to load it with.

9mm

Why? It's what I've got right now.

Fear the man with one gun (pistol in this case)...he knows how to use it.

I don't buy all the B.S. about the .40's great superiority to the 9mm with respect to knockdown power. More critters (two and four-legged) have been killed with a .22 LR than anything on earth. Yes, I know, it is about stopping power, not lethality, but really? If 18 rounds of 9mm isn't going to stop what is attacking me, I need an archangel, not a pistol.

I like the 9mm over the 40 S&W, but my experience is with Hi-Powers not Glocks.  I can shoot more accurately and faster with my 9mm than my 40 Hi-Power.  Also my 40 bites my tigger finger.

Shot placement, repeat, consistent shot placement.

Whether a .380, 9mm, 40, or .45, 22lr for what its worth,..

It has to hit the target.

A double/ triple tap of Cor Bon .380, vs. 1 shot with a .45 as long as there in the same group, yields the same result.

I am not a fan of the 357 sig. The ammo is hard to find and costs to much, would rather carry a 10mm or 40 S&W.
