>>Yup, some things we can do, some things we can’t and that’s firing that nasty thing. I tried my dad’s 1911A1 and only lasted two shots
Hmmm. My daughter was firing mine with standard loads when she was 10, and she was petite, so I would have to put it down to technique.
I was using two handed hold. What is weird though, I shot a Desert Eagle in .44mag and it was okay. Had no problem with that.
Bingo!...it kicks a little...most get over it and drop down again and fire for affect......
Anyone who thinks the 1911A1 is too large and has bad recoil, to each their own I guess.
IMO, it is the most natural pointing handgun for instinctive shooting ever made. For close in combat type practice, (25 yards or less) I never use the sights, just point and shoot gets it done, nuff said.
