    How's it feel going from a 9 to a 45 in that shield? Big difference in recoil?


    Surprisingly little. I find it to be about 10-20% more but its deceptive because it feels the same as the 9 but it shoves instead of kicking.

    That being said, Im 6 foot 215. It doesnt bother me and I love it. Now the wife, 5'3" 150lbs, 58 years old with a touch of the ole arthritis. She doesnt care for it. Too disconcerting (trouble controlling recoil). She also considers the increase in recoil at around 20%. Now also keep in mind that she has moved up into the 45 world with great vigor and loves the round. Point being, the Shield can jump around a little if you dont have the strength for it, on the other hand, she has literally absconded with the XDM she got me a few Christmas's ago and absolutely LOVES it. Heavier frame right?

    Thats why I need her to try out some Commander sized 1911's. I think these would be perfect for her. Tried some 5 inch ones and they were a touch too heavy. Obvious reasons.

    Xmas party...gotta run. More later or questions if ya have em.
