.45 GAP vs .45 ACP

I think what has been unstated in this thread so far, is that (to my understanding) the .45GAP round is a 200 grain loaded to +p specs, to "duplicate" the 230 gr .45 acp round.

45super is a good round, but people don't enjoy the recoil.

All this time I thought I was a people! The recoil doesn't bother me at all and the amount that it slows down my follow up shots is insignificant. I know recoil sensitivity is subjective but I don't think I'm a non human....:rolleyes:
 
As I get older, appreciation of low recoil does come into play...
but I still like to actually FEEL the recoil...
9mm feels almost as light as .32acp to me, not much there...
but allows faster followups.

.40 feels like 10mm lite...which it is...

.45 & 10mm share the PUSH recoil, which feels just right to me...
except I've got this Star Ultrastar 205 in .40S&W,
and it shoots softer than anything except the .32acp...
Hand Strength is KEY!!
