[QUOTE="Eagle Six, post: 730275, member: 49457"] Actually Kevin, I think we agree......my term "felt recoil" is probably based on your term "softer"........giving the impression the recoil is less. The 1911 and Glock 21 are both recoil cycle activated against a recoil main spring designs. If tested I would think actual recoil force on the lighter gun would be more than the heavier. The typical full size steel 1911 is going to weigh a tad bit more than the Glock 21, so I think the Glock 21 would generate more actual recoil if it were measured. Not having a scientific means to measure, I simply go by how it feels in my hand during the recoil cycle and recovery during follow through and back on POA. In that regard, I agree, it's "softer", therefore I referred to it, as I perceive the felt recoil to be less than the 1911. On the other hand, I'm also not recoil sensitive and neither the recoil of the 1911 or G21 bothers me......they actually just feel like.....well.....real guns! At the same time, I realize recoil is an issue to some shooters, and understand the concern of the OP. I've also carried wheel guns, 1911's and Glocks on duty. I also prefer the Glocks for the primary and backup.....but growing up with the 1911, there is a trust and soft spot I have for the full size 1911. Regardless, if given the choice, I will carry the Glock 21 into battle. So, I couldn't agree with you more..... Best Regards........E6 [/QUOTE]
