I was thinking of getting a glock 19 until I shot the glock 23. The recoil on a 40S&W is not bad at all and it is fun to shoot. What are the advantages of this round over the 9mm. It does not penetrate more, in fact it penetrates less. It just puts more energy into the target. Anyone have any experience or insight to add? Thanks.
