I'm not a big fan of .40. As Checkman said, it's a compromise design. As for its recoil, I actually have never thought it's all that snappy compared to many calibers I'm used to. The main thing I don't like about the .40 is its price. And since I never expect to fire my pistols outside of a range, 9mm is what I prefer because it's cheaper in bulk.
The other problem for me is the unfortunate fact that SIG's .40 magazines only hold 12 rounds (though some people expand their capacity by taking the spring from a 10-round mag and putting it in the 12-rounder).
