    Wynn - that picture of you shooting that Magnaported P40 is pretty awesome!

    Thanks, Ed. I used to do a lot of the videos and freeze frames were pretty wild.

    The PM40 can be Mag-na-ported, but you have to pay for shipping the barrel and slide there... can use Priority Mail for $6-$7 if you don't send the frame... need an FFL to send the frame or pay $60-$70 to send it yourself to a FFL licensed gunsmith or custom gunworks. Then there's return shipping, too. So Mag-na-porting can run $30-$40 more, maybe.

    MagNaPort about a ten minute drive for me. A coworker is a life long friend of the owner. They do FANTASTIC work well worth the cash.

Better groups, but I figure if I can bring down the snap somewhat, it will not hurt! Favorite ideas? I am sure there will be many who say get a 9mm Kahr, and I have a Gl-9 which shoots great. I may get a 9 Kahr or trade for one, many pop up in San Diego in CalGuns. Any info on the taming of the 40 will help-! Thanks!
    You have the best answer, I found the only way to significantly recoil with my PM40 was to shoot my PM9 instead. 40 caliber self defense loads are all pretty snappy in the PM40. Even the PM9 is a handful with most loads.
