If someone thinks a 40 recoil is way to hot then they better not try switching to revolvers and shooting a 357 magnum. Oh don't even get started on pros or cons of the 357. That's another large popcorn theater.

I don't think it makes any difference what caliber or model a person carries as long as they can shoot it well. I would guess those that carry a 45 are quite accurate with it or they wouldn't carry it.
