I have a question.  

From many discussions about various pistol cals, I keep hearing that a .40 has more "muzzle flip" and more recoil than the larger .45 ACP in the same model/size pistol.  For example it was told to me that a .40 cal compact pistol is more difficult to control and obtain fast second shots than a .45 cal compact pistol of the same size (roughly) becasue the .40 is "snappier" than the .45.

Can someone provide me with an explanation as to why this is?
