Has anyone had the pleasure/displeasure of firing a hefty 200gr. rd from a pt740slim ? I might buy one and just want some honest input..

That bullet you mentioned above is heavier than the typical "heavy" .40 cal bullet. A typical "heavy" for the .40 is 180gr, while slightly lighter bullets such as the 165gr and even the light 135gr might be better in your PT740.

I prefer the 165gr for my PT740 and S&W Shield .40.
