Recoil was significant but controllable with a proper grip.
The worst recoil was with the 325 revolver. Not surprising now; I noticed that for me, the 325 seemed to recoil the most with ammo I tested in these guns previously. The grips do not cover the metal backstrap. I am going to see if I can fit the wrap around grips from my 329PD onto the 325. If that works I will order a new set of X-Frame grips as the 329PD is a beast for recoil.
The least recoil was with the hybrid ported Glock 21
FYI - .45 ACP +P 185 gr load from Underwood has a claimed velocity of 1200 fps.
Stay tuned for chrono results on the Underwood 255 gr hardcast .45 Super loads.
