Most of my shooting is .22 so I don't beat up my hands, my ears, and my wallet, but I try for 5 rounds a day of .45, just so I don't flinch at the noise or get startled by the kick. Once or twice a month though, I'll shoot 30 rounds of .45 at one go, and it's a lot of fun.
what kick? my kimber .45 is so nicely balanced, I can fire hundreds in a day and not notice. Maybe some are weighted differently, but mine shoots nice. It’s just the cost that’s a deterrent.
I actually would like to get the .22 conversion kit for it so I can use it for much cheaper too heh.
