I sidetracked to archery.
I practiced for as much as four hours a day four, even five. She's now a completely custom 55# with a 27"" draw.
Making my own arrows I managed 4-6" center at a measured 50 yards.
I destroyed my shoulders.
Both are rebuilt, one poorly, one beautifully.
My standard load for .45ACP 230gr RNJ chronoed at about 955fps but that's here at +9,500 ft average elevation.
Three load variations down to 185gr at 800fps and my shoulders ached.
I'm going to try a G19X and see if the recoil physics work, and there is a viable CQB self-defensive handgun.
