I was at a shooting range a couple years ago, was handed a fairly hefty handgun. I didn't really know too much about guns or anything then, didn't bother to check the rounds, etc. The first thing I noticed was how hard the damn trigger was to pull. When I shot it, I recoiled back a step, and the barrel was about an inch away from my nose. Turns out thirteen year old me can't handle a 45 caliber pistol. Not super life threatening, but still scary af.
