Thanks for the explanations, looking back, perhaps I should not have asked for an explanation of the math, as much as an explanation of this...
I won't claim to have a good understanding of all the terms of the math, we are naught but humble pirates here... but it seems to be saying the .45 has near twice the recoil of the 9mm, and that is simply not what I experience when shooting them.
Is this one of those "tricks of math" things? Like when someone jumps into the pool, swims to the far end, then swims back, and the math "proves" that they didn't go anywhere???
A 230 gr bullet at 850 fps has almost twice the recoil of a 124 gr bullet at 1200 fps. 7.7 ft lbs vs 4.7 ft lbs.
