I have been researching for a while on various handguns. I have begun to believe that a .45 ACP would be the best "one gun" solution for me. I have owned and fired several of the 1911 platform guns over the years; frankly the recoil and beating to the web of my shooting hand is unpleasant. I have recently fired the big CZ97; better on the hand, still bothered by recoil. I have been reading about the H&K Mark 23 in .45 acp, and noted that the press on this gun mentions a "patented HK recoil reduction system." I am curious about this system; does it really reduce recoil significantly? Also, is the gun worth the cost? (Buds Gun Shop lists them for $1,999).
Other possibilities include guns in .45acp from Glock, H&K, Sig, and so forth. However, my interest in the H&K was increased by the reported accuracy, durability, and reduced recoil of this gun. I would also share that I have large hands; I have found that the Beretta 92 and S&W 59/69 series 9mm guns "feel" good in my hand.
Thanks for the help!
I appreciate your listening to my ramblings, and would appreciate any input on which direction to move in my ongoing research...
