1911 caliber arguments are a waste of time. Let's just stop here? You don't like it when the platform is chambered for 9mm, I do. Enough said?
EDIT: Shit, I told my grandma I got a pistol (former USSR, lives elsewhere - not in America) and she started asking me about the famous American Colt pistol before I could even tell her I got a 1911. It's so recognizable with such a rich history and can be had in any caliber you want...

I didn't say I didn't like it... I'm just giving you a hard time about it.
Besides, I own a Star Model B (essentially the same thing) anyway.
I've never really been bothered by the .45 M1911s recoil. It's a big steel pistol. If you can handle a polymer 9mm I'd say you won't have an issue with a .45 M1911.
Honestly, I find the worst recoil in a semi-auto pistol comes from blowback pistols like the PP, Makarov, etc. The Astra 600 in 9x19 is god-awful.
