[QUOTE="Perplexed, post: 1269450, member: 7157"] That's interesting; my experience was the total opposite. I've owned several 1911's, and my current fave is a Kimber CDP Compact .45 (Commander barrel, Officer grip). I had a G36 also, but that Glock was heck on my hand with its stout recoil. It felt like someone was smacking my open palm with a length of 2 x 4, every time I pulled the trigger. After emptying one magazine, my hand would be stinging. Then after the sensation went away, I'd pick up my 1911 and shoot a magazine - and another - and another... all with no ill effect. I sold the G36 after putting maybe 50 rounds through it. Worst recoiling pistol I ever tried. Maybe learning a better grip would have helped, but when I compare the G36 to all the other pistols I've owned or fired up to the same caliber, the G36 was far and away the stoutest in the recoil department. Obviously others may have a different experience than mine, but I'd strongly suggest that anyone considering buying one, try it out first. [/QUOTE]
