Which caliber 9 or larger has the less kick? Im a strong woman 5'6 I hate the kick of a 9 BTW? |
Since I live in Canada unfortunately I am not allowed target shooting with a 25 or 32 :( that sucks for us girls Samantha, have you tried the Glock in your choice of caliber including the .9mm? The polymer frame absorbs a lot of the recoil. If you go down to a .380 acp, get the wide grip, heavier model like the Beretta 84 or the Browning copy. The slimmer .380s have too much snap and women complain about it hurting their hand. My wife has a .380 acp Beretta Model 84 that she loves. It has 13 round mags and holds one in the chamber. My 22 year old daughter has a Glock Model 26 .9mm and she is really petite. I recommend the Glock Model 19 .9mm for you. Try one and I'll bet you'll like it. You could also try the full size .45 acp. I'm not being funny, many women find the .45 acp fun to shoot. The frame is wide enough and heavy enough to tame the recoil which is NOT vicious in the .45 anyway. good luck. H if you go higher than 9mm your upping the kinetic energy... so more kick Socialism sucks, huh? Hope we don't succumb to Democrat socialist ideas. Honestly most 9's dont have that bad of kick. I recommend that you go shoot a .357 magnum revolver or larger. That way the kick of you 9mm will seam pleasant. Seriously, once you have fired a large revolver then semi-autos will be easy as pie. My wife is 5'6 and only weighs 105, that's the way I taught her to handle her 9mm. Now she can shoot my revolvers and she doesn't even flinch. The more times you shoot your 9 the more you will get use to it. It's not the round, it's the gun. I find the beretta 9mm has a wilder (not harder kick, just less controllable) than a .45 cal. A longer barrel, lighter slide, and lighter handgrip that yo can get your hands around will help. You want to transfer weight to the front, and in the case of autos, keep the slide light so the weight doesn't travel back. If you absolutely have to go down in caliber to be comfortable then the logical step down is the .380 ACP. It has less power and less kick than the 9mm but more of both than the .25 and .32. A better bet is to get a heavier gun in 9mm. A polymer 9mm such as a glock 17 will seem to recoil much more than a heavier steel pistol such as a beretta 92 even though both are firing the same cartridge. I am the source and I know my shiznit. |
