Recoil? In a 9mm? WTF? Over.

 I don't know about any one else, but I was talking about muzzle flip in a REAL 1911, you know, a .45.

I've been looking at this one and having a hard time following our typical ADD  :-\  With some road time the last couple days I though about it a little, and my best advice is grip strength. 

Last winter USPSA had an article in Front Sight that dealt with grip strength.  I have done some of their suggestions, not nearly everything they recommended, but some, and it has made a big difference.  ALL my hand guns are easier to shoot, felt recoil and muzzle flip are less, and my hits have improved.  It will be nice to see scores after several matches to see if it is verifiable on paper or just between my ears.  Either way, it is more comfortable in the hand, and that is what matters in the enjoyment area.

I miss placed my magazine for a while and tried to find it online without success.  However, you can go to www.uspsa.org and surf around.  I do find some good old articles from time to time.
