I thought that I wanted a 9mm and I still might for paper punching, but yesterday I got to looking at some lighter recoiling .45 ACP factory ammo choices and I think that I'll order some of the 185 grain Winchester hard ball stuff. Full bore 230's have more snap than I'd like out of an alloy frame .45 Auto and the comments on those 185's all mention lighter recoil.

My other auto is a .45

The bitterness of poor quality is remembered long after the sweetness of low price has faded from memory
