I've read many comments on this forum the .45 Shield soft shooting? While I've not shot the .45 Shield and want too, how can that BE as know how the 9 mm recoils as the .45 muzzle jump can't be soft?
I don't know how that can be. I figure it has something to do with having two recoil springs. Or where the bore sits in relation to my hand. I can only tell you I expected the gun to kick pretty hard given the size and weight, but it does not. I have a Charter Pitbull .45 that weighs the same as my Shield and the difference in recoil between the two is night and day.
