Rommel,
What do you mean by `` a lot more gun `` ??

.40 Cal is not a caliber I consider to give a harsh recoil !! 4 inch Mdl 29 with heavy handloads is !!

Excellent as a self defense round, the 40 Cal has most of it's following in LE & Competitive shooting sports. I have done much testing comparisons of it & 9mm as LE weapons......Expect a little more spread ( 4-6 in ) between rounds in so-called double taps than what a good modern 9mm would give you........

If I had to pick one, my vote would go to the G23........

In conclusion, it's a good intermediate round between the 9 & the 45.....but doesnt replace both, at least in my book.....
