The 40c is not uncomfortable to fire. If you are OK with the full-size gun, I would think you will also be OK with the 40c. Ammunition is a big factor to me. I deliberately select 180-gr. loads, as some of the lighter, higher velocity loads really whip the gun around on discharge. I have never been interested in making a .357 Magnum out of the .40, so a 180 at 950 suits me.

As to accuracy, I shoot the 40c better than I ever did my G27s, but this is probably a function of comfort and the gun fitting my hand better, rather than an intrinsic accuracy difference. At close range, 50 feet or less, I shoot the 40c just as well as the bigger gun. I don't think you will be disappointed with a 40c.

Fully loaded with 10-11 cartrdiges, a 40c is a lot of gun to carry around - but it also provides a lot more horsepower than a Chief. Unless you really need it, you may be more likely to actually carry a smaller, lighter weapon.
