Thompson Patriot 36 and 45 cal

I come across these a few years back. Never fired. What kind of kick would they provide?

Not much shooting round ball. It will increase a bit if you shoot bullets/conicals like the Lee REAL.

Very little recoil, I used to take the kids to shoot an old CVA pistol when they were 7 years old. I would guess with 30 grain loads it recoils about the same as a 22 LR or Mag,

My 45 patriot likes 20 gr 3f with a 440 ball and 15 patch, thing is a tack driver from the bench at 20 yrds

I shoot my 45 cal with 15 gr. of powder. No recoil to speak of, and nearly one hole groups rested. Fun little guns to play with, kills rabbits well also.

With normal pistol loads, 15grs-20grs, almost no recoil. Very accurate, you will be impressed. The Patriot Pistol is amazingly accurate.
