my wife did her range session for her ccw today, before she went i let her shoot a pt140 (which she took), and a pt908 (9mm), she prefered the 40 and wants to stick with it, but the instructor thought she would be better served to use a 9mm for recoil purposes as her quick fire sessions were very poor, but her aimed shot was outstanding. your opinions on that are encouraged.
my main question is how soft a load is available in the 40 and how will this effect bullet penetration etc. she shot reloaded ammo at the range and the only info i got on it is its ultramax 180gr fmj. i am not at all privy to bullet loads and reloads. could/should i have someone load lighter rounds for her, or is this completely counterproductive and should we just step down to a 9mm?
