Alright, I know the caliber debate is over. All the experts got together and voted. There's a better consensus on it than there is on global warming. The best caliber for self defense is 9mm and it's all anyone would ever want or need.
Well, I'm one of those weirdos who still likes .40 S&W in full-sized firearms where the recoil isn't so snappy. One of my favorites has been the Beretta PX4 Storm, which I believe was built for .40 in the first place. With mild recoil, it's a joy to shoot. Of course, it's too big for a CCW.
Being a DA/SA guy, I had previously considered the PX4 Storm Compact Carry edition in 9mm. It's still a little chunky but definitely a joy to shoot. I especially like that it's decocker-only. So I got to thinking. Why not take advantage of the chunk, and that rotating barrel system, and get one in .40 S&W?
For all the other weirdos out there, does your opinion of .40 S&W change when it's coming from a short barrel?
