I prefer to stay away from .45 when I shoot polymer pistols. Recoil is ridiculous. 9 or even .40 is comfortable.

@goldeneye007662 Yea, I think if you want a .45, a 1911 is the way to go. I just wanted to try out an M&P, and this was the only full size one they had. Loved the gun though, very comfortable.

i see you are pushing the handgun out from your chest now. you notice the difference?

[p8ntballer8491]

@bullmeatt Haha, yea, it makes a difference. When I was practicing gun handling and stuff with my airsoft pistols, I would drive it out from my chest (especially when I drew from the holster). I forgot to do alot of stuff when I went shooting in August. Your comment on my P226 video reminded me of that.

next time your out shooting you should shoot the M1911A1 if they have it. 100 years old and will still sit the person on the receiving end on thier ass.

@Treembea I plan to next time I go. I was set on renting an M&P 9, but they only had a sub compact, so i went wit the full size 45.

@goldeneye007662 you should try out the full size M&P in 45 then, you might be surprised.

@goldeneye007662 My Glock 30 (subcompact) has less felt recoil (for me) than any of my commander sized 1911s. It is a very odd balance of girth and weight. Not something I expected from a "subcompact". I actually use it for IDPA now due to its incredible accuracy, and its ability to control under high volume of fire.

[goldeneye007662]

@tactical2bagpipes Undeniably, but the measurable, not felt, recoil will always be greater than a smaller caliber.

When I shoot my 1911, .45 works just fine. Heavier frame reduces much of the felt recoil.

[Treembea]

@tactical2bagpipes Yea but the you still got nothing on the classics.

[tactical2bagpipes]

@Treembea .45 round has the same effect regarldless of the platform it is shot from.....

[tactical2bagpipes]

@goldeneye007662 That is only because your posture and weapon purchase is incorrect. A .45 has minimal felt recoil. It is not the weapon or the caliber, it is poor skill on the shooter's part. Most shooters fell theat the .40 S&W has more felt recoil impulse than the .45 and is certainly loaded to much higher pressures. The shooter is this video is controlling the recoil, and muzzle flip correctly.
