I have a number of 10mms, and the G40 produces the mildest recoil in my hands.

If I was being attacked by a Chinese rifle platoon, that G40 would be my pick. But the DW Bruin is my pick for hunting, target shooting, and just holding, looking at, and fondling.



Although I've puttered around with Glocks since the Gen 1's, maybe 30 years now, the 1911 still feels better to me. Much better.
