Slab Sides 20 Posted December 28, 2017 I have both a 1911 and P220, the difference is more the trigger and how the gun feels in your hand, not really which one is "softer" or not. I've put a ton of time into my Sig's trigger an it will never come close to the 1911. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nothing wrong with a 9mm. You're not losing anything. FWIW I've been a 45 fan since the 60s. I shoot a lot more 9 than I do 45. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ray Ray 3,566 Posted January 15, 2018 If 45 ACP ammo was even a little cheaper, they would sell a lot more. But as it stands, it's hard to get into the other calibers unless you do a ton of reloading or money isn't an issue. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pizza Bob 1,488 Posted January 15, 2018 Softest shooting .45 ACP? Undoubtedly this... S&W Model 25-2 Did you expect anything other than a revolver from me? Adios, Pizza Bob 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know why, but the felt recoil was very light compared to everything else I have. Frankly, I found it boring to shoot compared to everything else so I sold it. I second the Ruger SR45, I have one and the felt recoil, at leas to me seems very soft. I also have an RIA M1911, and the Ruger might be just a slight bit softer. But either one you can shoot all day no issues with recoil whatsoever. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T Bill 649 Posted January 15, 2018 Because of the height / width ratio on a 45ACP case, it can be hand loaded from "bunny fart" to "hardball" with amazing simplicity. Add a pack of different power Wolff gun springs and a little time at the range, you can create any type of shooting pistol you want. Oh, and ditto to all steel 1911s.

Bully 749 Posted January 16, 2018 45... CZ 97B. All day shooter for sure. I shot one at a range once and it was magical. With 1911's a lot of the recoil impulse can be controlled by how it's built. It the FPS is "square" it will recoil softer. It will also be more difficult to rack. The CZ's you purchased are great guns. Good luck. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JC_68Westy 1,024 Posted January 16, 2018 I have a 625 and ihave to say that the G21 is the softest shooting of all of them. I have multiple 1911's. a Kahr TP45, P 45. G30, and the G21 is softer than all of the others. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sota 1,191 Posted February 19, 2018 My HK45 with 200gr ammo is pretty soft shooting. Use a gat that's heavier slinging those lighter bullets would be almost like shooting a .22lr 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
