“Sounds like you are scared to pull the trigger.”
Don’t anticipate the recoil.
“Find a good balanced weapon and practice, practice, practice.”
Best sage advice you can ever get.

I've heard that story except it was for Batman.
A few of Bob Kane's early stories included an armed Bruce Wayne. However, for the reasons you've mentioned, the guns quickly disappeared.

The 1911 was more effective at killing the Muzzies than the 38 but what really ended the war was when they started coating the 45 bullets with bacon grease, so I have read.

WWI Armistice Centennial Match The pistol stage of this video shows a good comparison of the "fast 9mm" vs. the "heavy .45". Plus, it looks like the participants are having a great time. That Aussie can really run that bolt on his SMLE (towards the end). :-)

But the whole point is that your enemies have to know about it for them to be demoralized by such procedures.

Yes, a .45 against a tank probably won’t do much.
