38 super recoil?

Slowbalt · Oct 1, 2012

Title says it. What kind of recoil could I expect?

More then a 9mm, less then a .45...

Factory .38 super is like 9mm +10% velocity.

When you load your own, it's 9mm with a higher top end...

In a 1911? That is a heavy pistol. Recoil not an issue.

Is it a snappy recoil like a 9mm or more of a push like .45?

snappy recoil and more recoil than a 9mm

as said, 9mmish. but if your shooting indoors you will notice the muzzle blast more, esp if you load it hot.
