PBP: that makes sense. Have you ever shot a hot 38 +P (such as buffalo bore) load out of a lightweight snubbie like a M&P 340? How would you compare MK40 recoil to it? I'm guessing it might be somewhat similar - and I have no problem with the recoil of the M&P340.

I would say that the .40S&W round is less punishing than a .38spl+p such as a Buffalo Bore round. It is definitely less punishing than a .357mag IMHO. You do have to remember that I have only shot .38spl+p rounds out of j-frame revolvers and the .40S&W out of autos. The different grip configurations do play a part in the felt recoil. I prefer the .357sig though. It seems easier to handle to me. I am guessing it has something to do with having less mass shoved out the end of the barrel.
