Looking to pickup a EDC gun, trying to figure out some good semi-autos to try out. I come from my USFA Single action 4-3/4" Single action revolver in 45LC. I haven't had much opportunity to shoot semi auto's. I have tried out a 9mm once or twice, but notcied the recoil seemed quite hefty for such a small caliber, (it was the uber expensive, winchester white box) Compared to the .45LC in a SAR that i was used to. Is this more a charictaristic of Semi auto's in general? I'm not a small person by any means 6'2" 275 lbs. Is it just that i'm not used to HOW the Semi auto's recoil? I'm guessing that's the issue is the manner in which they recoil and just learing to adjust to it.
I also like the slenderness of the 1911 style over a double stack. I don't have very many friends in the area as i just moved here, and i don't have an unlimited bank account so my options for getting a hold of some to try is extremley limited. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!!
