Hello, I recently purchased a Sig P226 in .40 S&W. I can shoot much more accurately with this than I can with my 9mm Ruger P95, but the recoil is almost unbearable. After about 3 magazines (36 rounds) my hand can't take it any more. I have shot a few 1911's and XD's in .45 ACP and haven't had any problem with the recoil.
A few months back I had surgery on my hand so I expect some discomfort but other firearms haven't been giving me much trouble. Why does my Sig seems so different? What have your experiences with this model or cartridge been?
Thanks,
Geoff
