Hello.
I've been lurking for awhile and have a few questions for you guys and gals.
I am contemplating getting a Smith and Wesson 625 45ACP. I have a 1911 that I shoot pretty accurately compared to my other guns and love the .45ACP cartridge. The problem lies in the fact that I love shooting revolvers even more. So naturally this leads me to the 625.
On to the questions: How does the recoil compare between the in 625 and a full sized 1911 style auto? Is there much difference between the 4 or 5 inch models? How about the Miculek version since it is a bit lighter? I know this is kind of an apples and oranges type question, but I cannot compare it to any other .45 and no range in my area has any .45 revolvers to rent.
My concern is that shooting the .45 auto, while not punishing, is at about the edge of my willing tolerance for extended range sessions and am hoping that shooting them out of a beefy N frame would be more enjoyable. Make sense?
I did a search of the archives but found little discussion on this topic.
