I got the opportunity to shoot a .45 one day and was really happy with my performance with it. I had always been told that a .45 was "too big for a little lady," but this little lady rather enjoyed it. Despite warning from a few misguided souls, the gun didn't rare back and knock me in the head.

It actually shot like other guns, only with a little more bang.

I would recommend shooting before you buy. Either shoot a friend or relative's .45 or rent some different ones at a local range.

(I shot a Kimber, but it's a tad bit out of my price range.)
