Honestly, I really hate polymer 9mm compared to steel. There's so much more muzzle flip it reminds me of a toned down .40SW in polymer. More manageable, but annoying.
My problem is wrist locking/strength - specifically, I don't have the strength to lock my wrist very well due to an old (dumb) injury and I have poor form in understanding HOW to lock my wrist without putting a death grip on the pistol. I actually started out the range day playing with the Springfield TRP and shot reasonably well - but 30 minutes later I couldn't hit the broadside of a barn and you could see the muzzle flip so much more violently. To me, there's no reason to have a .45 when I can't even shoot 9mm remotely well.
