Ofcourse it is all relative, but as I found out - different rounds in one caliber can make a big difference too. I shot my ltwght .45 with different 'carry' ammo (some pretty hot) this weekend, and was disheartened at the recoil, report, even accuracy, etc. (Even briefly debated whether to switch to a different caliber.) Then I tried a different brand of decent HP and am quite happy with the difference - makes me happy with the system again! Obviously the weapon itself has an impact too, as those 1st rounds I tried would most likely have been fine out of a full-size .45.
