So now that I am back to work, I want to buy
a new toy (want not need).

I have narrowed the search down to the new Colt competition model. They chamber it in 9 mm, I am thinking that combo would be good for da wife to learn on (hehe). What's the recoil like on the 1911/9 combo. By the way she kind of like the feel of the 1911.

Thoughts.
