confession time

I would have had a hard time letting that HiPower go but that T40 is a prize!

The Hi Power was nice. But I am hunting for a "T" model Hi Power . When I find one like I want then it will be a keeper for sure. I have a friend who has one from the 60s and it still looks brand new. He won't part with it though.

Just remembered that I had order a 3 pk of 5# striker springs when I changed my K9 over. The T40 slide uses the same striker spring correct? My K9 trigger is sweet with this mod installed , so I plan to do the same thing with the T40 when it gets here. Should have it next week sometime.

I have a CW40 along with 40's of 3 other brands. I don't find any big deal with the recoil. I also shoot 45 ACP, 45 Colt and 357 Magnum. I also enjoy shooting 9mm and .380. Recoil is really overblown as far as I am concerned. Did I say I love my CW40? Yep...sure do. Oh and I am 61.

Warbird, thanks for the heads up. If you don't have a problem with .40 in the CW I think the T40 should be easy to shoot.

I have a T40. I think the weight tames the .40 loads recoil to make it a nice shooting gun. Recoil is different for everyone. If I wanted none all I would shoot would be .22. I do find myself fatuging faster with .40 than 9mm. If I just shoot .40 I find myself getting shakey after about 70 rounds. What I do is shoot about 30 rounds of .40 then switch to my 9mm for a while and switch back to the .40 for another 30 rounds and continue doing this and I can shoot all day and stay accurate. I usally sprinkle in some .380 also. I stop shooting .40 when I start getting inaccurate because it seems like I'm just burning ammo at that point.

I hope you enjoy your T40 as much as I do mine.

TANK, thanks for the tip on shooting the .40. I can't wait to get it in hand. Should be fun.
