That is not so. Many, many elite shooters...high masters....shoot the .45 (nearly always a 1911) for both the Centerfire stages and the .45 stages. It is far more common than the use of a .32.
These are shooters who are going to be shooting clean targets with the .45 regardless of recoil. They will do it in the .45 only stages....and just as well in CF.

PS: Note....Precision Pistol aka Conventional Pistol aka Bullseye Pistol stages are .22rf, Centerfire, .45.
