Conversely, I often hear complaints about the "snappy" perceived recoil of cartridges like the .40, 357, even 9mm in the more potent loadings.
Of course, everyone has a different tolerance for recoil, but "recoil impulse" is a very real factor and does not go unnoticed by most folks.
Indeed....most women can shoot and handle a .45 just fine.
It was at the first TexasCHLforum Day...And we were all up shooting a lot of others firearms...And "Wife Unit" had never shot a .45 before...So that wonderful person let her shoot a Les Baer (Thunder Ranch) .45, and the rest was history...Everyone watching got a big kick out of her reaction which was this evil grin...And somehow I figured that might hurt me in the pocket book as well, which made it even more funny...
Maybe one of these days I'll return my Dad's Michigan Arms .45 (which I have given a good home to for a year or so) and git one of these nice .45's...
One for me, and one for her...
Thats what I call a good deal all around!
Got to be Chas.
