I very much prefer the recoil of a full size 1911 chambered for .45 over any of the hotter .380 rounds through my P3AT. The 45 gives a nice slow push, while the little gun gives a very sharp snap. I'd place a 9mm as about the same as .45, with a little more snap. .357 ranks a bit higher on my recoil scale. Not gentle, sharp and quick.
