This evening, I went to Paradise in Brighton for a live "battle of the bands"-type performance featuring one of my friends on bass in this truly spectacular Indian-themed rock band, Karyshma. (Andy is a southern white boy in a mostly Indian band. It's pretty amusing.) The rest of the bands ranged from pretty banal to excellent, but the night was entertaining on the whole. To top it off, there were lots of hot chicks at Paradise that I had fun ogling. :)
Afterwards, I headed to the range and fired several dozen rounds from my brand new S&W 1911PD. Wow! What a gun! On the very first magazine, I shot a better grouping than I ever had with the Sig. That said, much of that was probably due to my rapidly advancing grip and trigger control, as I transferred to the Sig halfway through tonight's shoot and had my best groupings yet.
My impression of the recoil of the .45 ACP is that it is definitely stronger than the 9mm, but I was better able to control the muzzle drift on the relatively thin 1911: I think the double stack design of the Sig and the resulting thicker grip makes it more difficult to control horizontal motion. I found this true when pulling the trigger, as well: I need to be much more careful to pull the trigger straight back with the tip of the finger on the Sig because otherwise the grip rolls to the right horizontally when the trigger breaks.
