I'll fill you in on what I currently shoot and please comment on what you think a good 45 ACP handgun would be for an average sized hand woman. My biggest concern is hand fit/control over recoil. My price range is $700-1100.
-CZ 75...love this SS 9mm gun even though it's slightly to big for my hand. I appreciate the heaviness as it absorbs the 9mm kick. I shoot pretty well with this gun.
-6" S&W 19 .357s feel like butter...38s like .22s
-4" Ruger Security 6...I can definitely feel a difference between 38s and 357 (compared to the 6" Model 19)...I shoot 38s very well with this gun.
-Sig 250 Compact...this 9mm has muzzle flip. I shoot the first shot well and then I suck.
-Sig P232 ...this .380 totally twists my wrist on recoil but I shoot accurate with it.
-Browning BDM...this 9mm I am totally inaccurate with even though I love that it is such an oddball
-GSG 1911 .22LR...so much fun I wish it held 20 rounds at a time.
I use to worry about the gun weight, but now I appreciate the recoil absorption. I think 38# give/take 4# would be good. I think a 5" barrel would be good absorption. I prefer high polish stainless steel or glossy black. The GSG 1911 in .22 fits my hand well. I think I'd be good with a 1911 style.
My short list: Kimber Stainless II; Sig P220 Stainless Elite or Match; H&K USP 45; Colt Gold Cup or Government; Dan Wesson Heritage
What do you folks think?
THANKS!
