Supposedly a 45 has more power but not so abrupt/fast of a kick and some consider it more manageable as a result. Plus the HK has a unique recoil reduction system in it. As for size, well, as you might remember I have big hands and that gun is not likely to get away from me. Now, if we were talking a revolver or 50 caliber or something, then it would be a different story. Dunno, we'll see. My brother just bought a 45 caliber Glock 21, so maybe I will get to shoot that before I buy. Competition shooting... I am still very interested but lacking in time, money, and a pistol. First things first I suppose. If I get to do it, I will probably start with IDPA and then USPSA events. Shot my dad’s Ruger 40 caliber two weekends ago and loved it.
