Brings to mind a lady I know and her 18 year-old daughter. Neither had ever shot a gun at all and they asked me to teach them how to shoot a handgun. I started them off with a Sig Mosquito (.22) and they did quite well. We moved up to a Sig P229 (9mm) and they did very well. Final gun was a Sig 1911 Scorpion (.45 ACP). My friend shot it, but found it uncomfortable to shoot. Her daughter ran several magazines through the Scorpion, handled it VERY well and said, “I like ‘em all, but I LOVE the .45.” Recoil is a state of mind...
Cheers!
Exactly!
The Megastar is so heavy that it soaks up a lot of the recoil anyway.
And, when you don’t know anything else, it feels normal.
My dad was in the Navy during WW II and kept a loaded Colt .45 in the house (we lived, literally, on Rainbow Park Beach, in Chicago). I always knew exactly where it was and never had the slightest interest in it. So much for that stupid libtard myth.
When I was about 10, he took me outside and made me fire it into the dirt. I didn’t want to. But, he was adamant that I had to be able to handle it if someone got in and took him out. He would never trust my alcoholic mother.
I grew up thinking a loaded gun in the house was just normal. Ho hum.
