I've always felt the recoil on a .40 is a little harsher than a .45, but I've not shot a lot of .45s.

I agree. The first time I shot a .45 it was in a 1911 platform and I shot it so much better than polymer frame 9mm. The 9mm and even .40 see,Ed to be like a loud violent firecracker and the .45 seemed to be a loud bang with controllable recoil.
I'm eyeing a 1911 style platform for my next pistol.
