I am a fan of the .40. I regularly carry an HK VP40 which is a heck of a gun.

Maybe it is my imagination, but I feel like the .40 caliber guns designed within the last decade, are much easier to shoot and less snappy than the original .40 pistols. I have an old USP .40, which is highly reliable and accurate, but quite snappy. I never really enjoyed shooting it, though I was always pleased with the results. Comparatively, my Beretta 96 seems far less snappy and my VP40 is pleasant. I am guessing that changes in ergonomics and well as some buffering have been employed, but maybe I have just shot so much .40 that I am used to it.
