Having both, I actually prefer the 40. A lot of agencies are going this route. More power than the 9mm and less recoil than the 45. Normally higher capacity. Ample disabling power.
Having both as well, I actually find the recoil of the .40 S&W tobe shaper andsnappier(still very manageable though)thana .45 ACP of similar size/weight.
