A lot of women couldn't even handle a .40, so some departments made everyone switch back to 9mm's. A .45 would be out of the question for most women. The recoil frightens them, but most could probably handle it with a lot of practice.

Hey careful with the woman thing. The 9mm's have a smaller handle and not as much kick as a .45 but fear of the recoil?
Play nice :)

A .45 is easier to handle than the .40 S&W.
The larger base and slower velocities of the .45 equal a softer recoil than the sharp impulse of the .40
