There is recoil, but it's "mellow" rather than "sharp" like a .40S&W
or 10mm

Before I sold it, I took my 16 year old daughter out to a nearby range
and let her shoot my Combat Commander. I gave her a brief talk on how to
hold it, and she had zero trouble. I shot video from the side, the
recoil is apparent, but she had no trouble coming right back down on
target. It was btw, the first handgun she ever fired.

Ive taught literally hundreds of people to shoot handguns, and very few
have had any trouble with the .45

My wife 110lbs, 5'2", was rated #2 in the state for a number of years
in combat shooting..with full house 230 grain 45 ammo.

Its hardly an "uncontrollable beast"

"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
