I carry the PM40, its a mean one to master. Not much of a grip for my large hands and kicks like a mule. It took a few weeks to finally feel as comfortable with it as I do with my XD45.
I thought my .40 kicked, I bet that .45 does for sure.
The recoil is surprisingly mild. I have always thought that the 40 had more felt recoil than the 45.
That is the difference in a high pressure round (40 ca at max ~32,600psi) vs a lower pressure round like the .45 (21,000 psi max.) The recoil on the 45 will usually be much more manageable.
