My attitude is what it is because a 45 is a functionally a 19 and 19s don’t shoot softer than 17s.

I disagree. With the longer grip of the 45, I get more leverage on the gun to counteract the torque on the gun during slide travel, compared to a 19. I have pretty big hands and my pinkie rests on the magazine floor plate when shooting a 19, so my grip on the 45 is much better.Originally Posted by M2CattleCo
So I disagree that the whole package is like a 19; the top end is, but that’s it.
I vastly prefer the 45 over my 19 or 17.

Recoil is what it is. You may think a 45 is softer than a 17, but it’s not.
Not a physicist, but leverage would be different between the two due to dwell time differences. And if he believes it is softer shooting for him, who am I to say differently?

To clarify, I don't think the 45 is softer shooting than the 17, it just tracks flatter and returns to the target faster. I disagree with your comment that it's just like a 19.
However, I do respect M2's position.
I am not sure softer is an attribute we should be striving for in a handgun.
Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.
Softer is better. More accurate, faster, and more reliable.
I'm not sure "softer" is the right word, but it's close and more universally understood. It's also the most frequently heard word with those transitioning from G17.

Count me in the group that thinks the G45 is the best gun Glock has ever put into production.
Had another outing with my G45 MOS + RMR + PMM JTTC Ultra 2-port Comp today. It's like a magic gun. Laser beam + flat. I did have to switch to a Gen 3 15lb recoil spring setup which bothered me conceptually, but it sure shoots good!
