I currently own a Smith & Wesson .38 revolver. Pretty accurate and relatively easy to conceal. My local range doesn't have a .45 acp to rent, and that's the next pistol on my wish list.
I'm in the market for a Springfield 1911a1, probably a trophy match so its good to go right out of the box.
Question: Having never fired a full size .45 acp, how does it compare to the recoil on my .38? I'm thinking its a whole new ballgame....
I've shot a friend's Springfield V10, (the ultra compact .45...great for concealment) and the recoil was, well, abusive compared to what I'm used to...
I'm not looking to carry a full size 1911a1, I'm just tired of the guys at the range making fun of the 38. Plus I really want a semi auto, and the 1911 is the mother (imho) of all semis!
Thanks for the input!
