What are some 9mms that dont have much recoil?

Question

please list a couple help appreciated

Answer 1

Recoil is based upon two factors...

MASS x VELOCITY of the BULLET = MASS x VELOCITY of the RECOIL..

If you are really worried about recoil,  use low power rounds with light bullets....and get the heaviest 9 mm you can find...  

Other comments...

Do not go to a 380 like a Walther because they seem to have MORE recoil as the barrel is fixed to the frame...

Do not go up in caliber because if a 9 mm worries you...most of the bigger calibers are worse....

Consider a revolver....you can get some pretty heavy 357 mag revolvers and use 38 specials, which are about the same as 9mm and due to the weight of the gun, there is less recoil...  

Or....do not take this as an insult....find a good instructor so he can teach you how to handle recoil....Once you earn how to do it.....you will not worry about it....

Answer 2

If you are only worried about recoil, then shoot a gun with a compensator.  It is very very loud and if you ever wear night vision is could mess with it. Hi-point and glock both have models.

glock models are "c"

Answer 3

The Sig P226 does not have much recoil. You could also make your own rounds and not put as much powder in them and I found out it cuts recoil a lot. But it looses its velocity.

Answer 4

I've got a Colt 1911 that converts to 9 luger. It feels like a .22

Answer 5

it depends on the weight/size of the model, the type of ammo used (are you shooting 9mm +P), the grips, etc.  i find 9mm's to have little recoil compared with .357's, .10mm's, .44 magnums, etc.  the 9mm really is not a big deal when it comes to recoil.

Answer 6

Most 9mm handguns are very manageable when it comes to recoil.  Of course, the smaller the handgun, the greater the recoil is going to be.

I have three 9mm handguns:  Browning Hi Power, S & W M&P 9 full size and the M&P 9 compact.  All three are fun to shoot.  

Answer 7

It's been my experience that most 9's have very close to the same recoil.  What will greatly affect how they feel or manageable their recoil is, is the grips.  Personally, since I have medium sized hands I prefer the grips on the HK USP.  They are also pretty "rough" makes holding it when shooting very comfortable.  

Answer 8

Perception of felt recoil can vary from person to person depending on how the gun fits your hand.  In general, a longer barrel and a heavier gun will reduce felt recoil.  Springfield XD in a 5" barrel, Beretta 92, Taurus 92, Sig 226, Ruger P89 and other full size autos all have reasonably mild recoil......  

You should find a shooting range with handguns to rent so that you can find out which feels the best to you before you make a purchase.

Answer 9

As the other guy said, the bigger and heavier the gun is, the less the felt recoil will be.  A lot of the new shooters I take shooting, especially women, older children, etc. like my Glock (although my Glock is in the more powerful .40 caliber).  Overall it seems to be a nice, accurate, and reliable handgun.  If they have no troubles with the .40 cal, you should have no troubles with the slightly less powerful 9mm Glocks.  Good luck.

Answer 10

.22 long rifle is a better choice if you're worried about recoil because it has none at all and it's cheaper to shoot ($2-$4 for a 50 round box). You can stay on target with a .22 because there is no recoil, and it's a good way to practice shooting skills, especially with a pistol. Below are some websites for well-made affordable models both revolvers and semi-automatics.

Answer 11

It's almost a rule that the larger the gun, the less the recoil. The more the gun weighs the more it helps keep felt recoil down. The design of it can help as well as certain hand grips. In and of itself a 9mm usually doesn't have much felt recoil. That said, a Berretta 92F is a very managable hand gun.  

Answer 12

Most 9MM dont have much recoil at all......

A good choice is the Springfield Armory XD Pistols....

Consider the 4 inch barrel service model.... These are nice...

Answer 13

More than anything, you want to consider the purpose of the weapon you are looking to obtain.  Typically, the more weight, the less recoil.  But this may not be ideal if you are looking for a concealed carry weapon, etc.  Specifically the weight underneath the barrel plays the largest per ounce role in reducing "felt" recoil.

There are also several other factors that can help you reduce the recoil of a handgun.  For example, the type of ammunition you are using will play a small role in recoil.  +P and +P+ ammunition have a little more snap than standard loads, and the higher the bullet weight the more force.  Typically on a 9mm you are looking at 115 gr / 124 gr / 147 gr, although other weights exist.

Proper grip also goes a long way in reducing recoil.

You can also get a weapon with a compensator.  This allows gas to escape in a direction other than directly out the end of the barrel.  I have a friend with a glock 23c (.40 S&W with compensator) that has vents on the top of the slide, and that thing barely kicks at all.

You can also swap out the recoil springs for most weapons, or go with something like a DPM recoil reduction system (http://www.theshootersbox.com/store/inde...  Just make sure you do your research for whatever weapon you end up getting.

I personally carry a CZ P-01.  I find that it fits the best in my hands, and meets my needs for carry.  I replaced the standard plastic guide rod with a steel one from Steve Bedair, and it made a little (but noticeable) difference in the recoil of the weapon (due to minor under barrel weight difference).  Again, small, but noticeable.

What I would recommend above anything else, is just going to a gun store, and hold several different 9mm weapons.  Find one that feels good in your hands, do your research on that weapon before you buy, and everything else will take care of itself.

Answer 14

to be honest most of them have the same amount of recoil but ive noticed that the sig p229 has a little bit less than others
