She doesn't kick too bad, I actually feel much less snap than a friends comped 1911. He says I am FOS and biased.

I had to spend an additional 150 on an unthreaded 45 barrel because in CA any semiauto pistol with a detachable magazine and a threaded barrel is an assault weapon. I love the damn thing though
