Hi,
Well, I had the chance to fire the M1 Garand too and I loved it.
It kicks but if you handle it properly, it is bearable.
I had a Springfield 45, but had to sell it due to the risk with the kids of my ex-girlfriend around (from her former marriage).
It is like a Colt 45 and I really loved firing it at the gun club.
My friend had a Beretta Brigadier (if I remember the name correctly) which was nice too, but I loved that 45.
One day, I hope to get the chance of obtaining a Colt 45 again.
I hope to be able to try out an STG44 (Sturmgewehr) one day.
That'll make my day.
Erwin
