Bought a Glock 17 shortly after they first came out. Took it to the range, fired a box of rounds through it. Cleaned and packed it back in the box. Brought it back to the shop and traded it for a Sig.
I really disliked the Glock a lot and didn't care that I lost a couple of $$. I've had the Sig now for about 14 years and couldn't be happier with it.
Yeah, .45's can be punishing. I've got a 1911A that was my grandfather's. After a couple boxes of rounds with that, I can feel it for a week afterwards.
