That's a very enduring design, yes. I actually own a Beretta and love
it. How does that .45 handle, is the recoil a little too much?

The recoil is completely undramatic. With service loads, it's a little
slower to get back on target than a full-size nine, but it doesn't feel
heavy to me. I'm been shooting them for just under 40 years and they remain
my favorite target pistol.



With hardball ammunition?

Shrug..I shoot a lot of Plus + 45 ammo out of a Series 70 and an AMT
DAO.

Been doing it for at least 38 yrs. Doesnt kick at all..and the DAO is
what...13 oz? 22 oz?

No big deal

"First Law of Leftist Debate
The more you present a leftist with factual evidence
that is counter to his preconceived world view and the
more difficult it becomes for him to refute it without
losing face the chance of him calling you a racist, bigot,
homophobe approaches infinity.

This is despite the thread you are in having not mentioned
race or sexual preference in any way that is relevant to
the subject." Grey Ghost
