I saw an old post on the 1911forum where somebody listed their opinion on the order of recoil for pistol calibers. I thought that was a good idea. The list was a bit wrong based on my limited experience with a couple of the calibers, so I ordered it differently. (I'm sure I have it wrong myself)
Feel free to reply and place them in the proper "order" or add others. If nothing else, it will help other newbies as this question comes up a lot. Keep this in relationship to recoil, not stopping power. I certainly don't want another 9mm vs .45ACP debate!
Thanks,
Robert
