I was amazed at how good it felt to shoot! I was kind of meh on how it felt to hold when he bought it, but shooting it put that to rest.

I only got to shoot a single magazine as we couldn't find more than a single expensive box of ammo, but it was worth it.

I was extremely surprised that the recoil was so minimal on a .45, since the only .45 I've shot before was the M&P .45. It basically felt identical to my 92fs's 9mm recoil which was very nice.

Just wanted to share a mini-review!
