Default Am I getting old...or is it the Fiocchi ammo??

Maybe I am getting weaker in my old age, or less tolerant, or just soft but I have a question regarding Fiocchi ammo.

It has been awhile since I busted out the .45's for a trip to the range, my M&P .40 has been getting most of my love lately. A week or so ago I picked up a nice used full-size M&P .45, so I figured it was time, and warm enough, to head out to the range today. Digging into the ammo bunker, the first batch of .45ACP I came across was Fiocchi 230gr FMJ. I loaded up some mags for the M&P, and while I was at it figured I would bring a 1911 along for comparison. Holy ****, either it has been too long since I shot any of my .45's, or that Fiocchi is some hot ammo!! The pistols were almost unbearable to shoot. Certainly difficult to hold for second shot placement with any consistency. Anyone else have any experience shooting the Fiocchi and care to comment how it compares to WWB or Federal or Remington or whatever???

Thanks.
