Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns Why No Love For The S&W .40?

Back in the late 90’s I bought a Smith 1076 off a retired FBI agent that had traded it in at a LGS.

It came with his paddle holster and 6 mags. After firing it. I tried to carry it as a concealed weapon for several days.

Yeah, that was a horrible idea. I traded it in on a Sig Sauer P225.



I love my Glock G20. Obviously, the difference between shooting a Glock 20 compared to a Smith 1076 is day and night.

I’ve owned a few 40 cal pistols. I really liked my Kahr Tactical, in 40 cal. I shot and carried that pistol for several years. Aside from the long trigger pull of the Kahr. It was a nice carry weapon. Recoil and recovery for multiple shot strings, even in a smaller pistol package was somewhat mitigated by the steel frame of the Kahr Tactical.



The pistol(s) I regret selling are two West Germany Sig P225’s, that back in the day new, set me back around $550 bucks. Single stack 9mm, accurate, ran through most all ammunition without a glitch. And easy to hide for me.
