Okay, so... as most of you know my last 9mm was stolen, and I plan to replace it with a .40 XDM Compact.
I've already purchased the LG-448 (Sitting on my dinning room table!) and the Crossbread SuperTuck for it.. but now I'm having second thoughts. I've heard alot of guys around here (who've never shot it mind you) say that the recoil of a .40 on a compact model would be ridiculous.
There isn't one in town that I can test with, and I still have alot of 9mm ammo (including some HST's!).
So what do you guys think? Is the .40 compact really that bad and should i go with the 9mm? Or do you think i can handle a .40? Knowing that you guys have no idea who i am or how i'm built i realize that may be a difficult thing to say, but if it helps at all.. i'm 6'2, 230lbs, aaand i have a beard.
Lemme guess.. Buy both right?
Thanks
