I am not a huge fan of recoil, so the G19 is perfect in a lot of ways. Very controlable, fast followup shots. But I do want something with a little "more stopping" and have been told .40 is a much better round. I live in NJ so I cannot rent the gun. But I have shot a G22, and because of the large frame I didn't mind the kick. Is the kick in the compact .40 worse? need advice please.

I don't think it's that much more noticable...but, I shoot a 21 (.45), so after the hand cannon, everything seems kind of light. If you're using a hot round, you may want to go to a heavier recoil spring, such as 18 or 20 lb.

If you're looking for a gun for self-defense, you really should consider a much more powerful caliber. Plus Glock's are too bulky. Taurus makes really nice handguns for a fair price.

I've never noticed a difference between the two. step up and be a man. buy a G20 or G29. (I hate the G20/21-frame is too damn big). better yet, go out and get a used para P16-40. Bring to a gunsmith and have it reamed out to 10mm. then you will have appropriate stopping power. Welcome to real world of handguns.

They are not that bad, I would advise you go to a range where you can rent one and try it. I still like the 19 best personally

Indeed you can expect controllability to decrease as the size of the gun decreases.This is the reason I like full size guns. The Glock model 22 is one super gun, and it is NOT all that much bigger than the Model 23.
