    Question 9mm's: Least Amount of Muzzle Rise or Fastest Back On-Target?

    I'm aware that perceived recoil is very subjective, but which DA/SA compact (3.5"-4" bbl, 30oz or less unloaded) doublestack 9mm's have the least amount of muzzle rise?

    My SIG SP2022 soaked up recoil/muzzle flip like a boss, despite what the bore axis Nancy's say.

    I think you answered your own question...Everyone's perception of recoil is going to be different, So, I don't think there's a honest answer to the question...My answer would be to try a few if possible, and go with the one that YOU like..

    My P30 in 9mm is one of the softest shooting platforms I have ever tried. However as already pointed out, that's just my perception.

    For me it would definitely be one of the choices from CZ (PCR, P-01, P-07). Noticeably less muzzle flip in my hands compared to a P30.

    How does muzzle flip compare between, say, the P-01 and the P-07? Unfortunately, non of my local ranges has either of those I can test-drive. Thx...

    OP,

    This is not quite in the category of compacts you were looking at, but it is informative nonetheless.

    Thx, 30, that is informative. Perhaps a little backstory is in order here...
    I recently installed a 22lb Galloway Precision recoil spring in my SIG P290RS and was amazed at the difference as after a shot the sights were literally right back on-target w/o any need for post-shot aiming correction by me.
    I might be whistling for the moon here but I'd like to achieve a similar result w/a larger/compact, perhaps I'm asking the wrong question and should be asking about quickest back on-target???

    Neat video.

    Not very good for evaluation though.

    Do the same thing with the gun held by a spring loaded repeatable fixture rather than by someone hands that may or may not have a subconcious bias.

    It is interesting to watch the cycling of the guns though.

    The Shield is very recoil/muzzle rise adsorbing for me. Surprisingly..
