I agree that chamber pressure is one factor in how much recoil a firearm appears to have. I also agree the .45 ACP is more pleasant to shoot than the .40 S&W. The recoil is different with the .40 S&W being snappier than a .45 ACP, and the higher chamber pressure of the .40 S&W is a major factor if not the factor for the snappier recoil of the .40 S&W.

If have found that people with smaller hands prefer single stack mag semi-autos, and people with large and very large hands prefer the double stack mag semi-autos. What fits better is more comfortable and provides more control. Some will prefer a flat backstrap while others will prefer a more curved backstrap. The grip angle is also a contributing factor on how a shooter likes a particular handgun. Every hand is different. This one reason why if we don't like a particular model of a quality, reliable handgun we should not be knocking that model down or those who own them. It may not be the model for us but be a great model for someone else.
