I know recoil is subjective. I know it will be affected by the size and dimensions of the gun, the caliber, the ammo, whether or not it has an extension, the size of an individuals hands, etc.
Still, the question begs an answer cheaper than $1150 assuming one is not available to try.
In your opinion please fill in the blanks.
The R9 recoils like the _____ loaded with _____.
or
The R9 recoils less than the _____ loaded with _____ but more than the ___ loaded with ____.
It doesn't matter.
It was love at first sight for me. I could not get the CC out quick enough.
I could care less about recoil at the time. All I knew that is that I finally what I had been searching for most of my life - the smallest, lightest, most potent pocket rocket on the planet. Carried all the time and shot very little. Who cares what the recoil is.
That was my mind set.
And I'm glad it was, it sure paid off.
Good Luck
And by the way - if you consider yourself a shooter, then recoil is no big deal.
If not, then learning is no big deal either.
