I have a Colt Defender that I absolutely love, it is my first 1911'ish and 45 ACP. I really want to get my wife interested in the 1911 but she doesn't like the recoil. Same for my Sig P229 in 40 and 357, although she did pretty well yesterday shooting 40SW.
While I really don't want to push her or anyone to shoot anything they aren't comfortable with, I think if she would give it a chance she would come to love a 1911. I have thought about one of the Kimber 1911's in 9mm.
So do you think it is possible she could become comfortable with 45 ACP given time or should I drop it; looking for some thoughts from guys with GF or wife that shoot 45.
I do have an alternative motive though on the 1911 thing if you know what I mean
BTW: the wifey isn't a wimp. She works out and lifts weights and is pretty tough girl.
