Last month, I purchased my first gun ever and it is a S & W, MP Shield 40. I am a female and now realize it's a little too powerful for me. When I shoot, I'm anticipating the explosion/kick of the 40 and think now I should have purchased a 9mm. Thinking about trading my S&W MP Shield .40 to my brother-in-law for his Ruger 9mm. At the range, I just shot better with his gun; in the bullseye or right around it.
My question is, should I keep the 40 and just keep practicing or go for the Ruger 9mm? My husband is purchasing a Shield 9mm today. We are going to take the CCW classes in a week and I just think I will shoot better there with a 9mm.
I am a beginner and basically don't know much. Thanks!
