The 1911 45 has a muzzle velocity of 800 ft per second, the fact that the round tends to tumble which increases its diameter hits like an bull dozier. One round does great damage to anything it hits, the faster muzzle velocity of these other caliber handguns lack the torque of the 1911.

I love the .45. So do both my 5’-2” daughters. I really do not understand the fear of a little recoil. The 1911 is such a joy to shoot.
