Get a PX4 Storm, allegedly the rotating barrel does a better than average job taming the .40's often more potent recoil impulse, beretta makes quality guns and it isn't expensive, yet you don't see it everyday. The Inox stainless version is pretty slick looking without being gaudy. I want one personally if I were to take the foray into .40, another option that will be more expensive but give you more options is looking at the Sig P226 and P229 variants, there are many different types and whatnot so you could find one you find less "common" such as the Scorpion or Elite Dark
 models that will suit your fancy.

If I was in the market for a .40 the Px4 full size Inox would be the in serious consideration. I personally do not shoot .40 as well as I do 9mm, but when I was in the market for my 9mm I checked out the Px4's and they were really good pistols for the money, and I actually did notice a decent difference in recoil as opposed to say a Glock 19 (which I ended up purchasing) the 9mm is easy to shoot but for .40's I totally see the point. I also say a video of a guy doing mag dumps with his and it seemed to increase speed via less muzzle rise/recoil but that totally could have been in my head. Im not a huge fan of slide mounted safeties/decockers but tons of people have used and relied on them and have made them work. I like the sig decocker system best but the berettas are pretty good bargains and all around a decent package. Let us know which direction you go! ...Or buy a Glock 22/23, get the slide milled for a RMR, get it nickel boron coated, replace the connectors with Ghost/whatever your flavor of choice is, replace barrel with lone wolf or storm lake, reform/stipple the grip and add custom slide plates, magwell plugs and BAM! SUPER CUSTOM   
Either way let us know what you end up doing. |

Third gen S&W's are still a great deal, and impressive shooters. Lots of people already kicking themselves for not getting them when they were cheap. Don't miss out before the fun is over. 96D is a good .40S&W. S&W M&P 40 is probably the best plastic .40S&W on the market IMO. Here is a S&W Performance Center Shorty 40 to whet your whistle

Here is an oddball and native to .40S&W...
Colt Z Z40 / CZ 40B, an aborted joint venture of Colt and CZ. One of the best looking handguns ever made IMO Still very affordable when spotted in public, but prices are rising FAST.

Probably the best option for .40 S&W as USP was been initially created (and over-engineered accordingly) especially and intentionaly for this high-pressured round. Even brand new they are not that expensive at the moment as some of LEO customers in USA recently are switching to 9 mm Para and .45ACP. |

Here's my newest .40, with 10/8 sights installed. Mags have been easy to find and decently priced. Very nice shooting .40.
My next .40 is going to take a little more thought and research. I want an all metal .40 with no slide mounted controls, no DA / SA and not in a1911.

FNH FNS40 or FNX40. If you like striker fired get the FNS40, or SA/DA get the FNX40. They both come with 3 magazines, night sights can be had for both models. The FNS comes with or without a safety, like Burger King have it your way. I have had both models and they are both great weapons. Check them out.
