I bought a conversion barrel for my G27 and forgot to take it to the range months ago :o( it’s 9X19. I’m going to decide if it’s better than .40 cal and wondering what the optimum size bullet would be for it.

I really like the 40 SW
But it tends to make for a much larger gun, or a ****load of recoil.

It is powerful and it delivers lots of kinetic energy.

I have two 40’s and I never carry them, but I do love to shoot them.

If it was designed for 40SW, you can bump up the weight and powder charge using 9mm.

I would stick with 40 in it because of over penetration with a dam hot 9mm round

How do you find the sub compact 40?

I find that 40SW is peppy, impressive and manageable in a full size pistol like the CZ75.

I imagine it is a wrist snapper in a sub compact.
