300 blk? I’m getting ready to build a rifle/pistol and can’t decide between 300 blk and 5.56. Keep going back and forth..

Yep. 8" 300blk out. Ive got 556 in 10.5" 14.5" and 16". 100 yards and in and the 300blk out rules IMO. It is also far easier to suppress. I dont really bother loading subs since supers are so quiet other than the sonic crack. With the exception of my 14.5" all of my ARs have adjustable gas blocks. The 14.5" uses an adjustable carrier

I don’t understand, when edit, I see my hot linked picture, when post it, it’s gone… ?

K.O.D. K.O.D. yes, I’m with you for the most of the statement. I’m shooting 9mm, .40smith and .357 sig with my G22 and never had any recoil issues even the .357sig broke my titanium trigger pin and I just went back to the stock-once.
Recoil is very subjective and yes, polymer frames are prone to give you more of it but with developing proper grip most of this is easy to work out.
Good luck w the .44mag, I’m curious about the specs of the gun, would be nice if you post it further on… :thumbsup:
Oh, I forgot - those Turkish guns are nice and lots of fun for the $$

Yeah, the rotating barrel on my .40 Beretta PX4 helps.

The Canik is an interesting gun for sure. But to be honest, if Steyr made an M9-A1/A2 competition model with 5" barrel and the fiber sights I'd probably prefer it. That gun is so soft on recoil and has an excellent trigger, though the reset is less audible and less tactile than the Canik or my Sig.

I’ve wanted to handle and fire a Steyr for awhile now…most vids/posts I see are positive ones; Supposedly great shooters.

I've shot all the way to .500 S&W magnum. I'm 6'4.5" 245lbs.

.45acp is just a big old push. .40 is the one that can be hard on the wrists, especially some polymer pistols.

I'm fine with 9mm for CC in that I can shoot it well one handed if need be, plus it's getting harder to find subcompact guns in larger calibers unless it's a single stack 1911. I don't like carrying cocked and locked, I dislike manual safeties.

Oh, BTW, canik fedexed me the new recoil spring. Can't wait to see how it works.

This is definitely true. For instance, .460 S&W from an XVR feels better than .454 Casull from a Redhawk.

I think .40S&W can be great for carry in the right gun. That's the main factor. In something like a USP, PX4 Storm, or one of better metal-framed pistols; it can be very comfortable to shoot. The smallest gun where .40S&W is comfortable is probably the PX4 Compact. Of course, the PX4 was specifically built for .40S&W and its rotating barrel system helps to mitigate recoil. (That's also probably why it is such a remarkably soft shooter in 9mm.)

That's the other thing. Lots of guns chambered in .40S&W over the years were originally built around 9mm and many were already polymer guns trying to be light for carry. I tried both a Shield and a PPS in .40S&W. Neither felt good at all.
