Same here. Bought a used Glock 23 from a lgs during the Clinton Ban because it came with a couple of high cap magazines (which were "outlawed" at the time). I planned to use this as an EDC pistol, but as LVSteve stated, the recoil was nasty and it soured me on .40 S&W. I ended up trading that pistol in and went back to .45 ACP. I think it must be bad ergonomics because these days I shoot 10mm (M&P 10mm 2.0) without any issues. I still don't look at anything in .40 S&W, including bargain priced police trade-ins.
