I prefer the 40sw over the 9mm only because the bullet is bigger and heavier. I had a 9mm (sold it) and my 40sw at the same time when I shot at the range one day. I was shooting 9mm 124 +Ps and 40sw 165s and the 40sw 165s kicked only slightly more than the 124 +Ps.

The 165 was 40 fps slower than the 124 +P but at 100 fpe more than the 9mm.

Back in the 80s I had a 357 revolver that I shot at the range. I met a reloader that also shoot 357s. He gave me a box of 146g lead cast SWC HPs and he told me for SD ok? I shot a cylinder's worth and it was hot as hell (like an Underwood ammo.)
