I had a first gen .45 acp pistol, while it was very accurate, the recoil mitigation was nothing like they said it supposed to be and felt like any other .45. Also, the gun was a monster to charge and many people had issues with it. Unless the hammer was compressed/cocked, which meant you had to disassemble the gun to do it, I had to use the edge of a table to charge it. I wound up selling it soon after, as I originally wanted to make it a sbr but there were more cons than pros.
