    I was going to say...for a guy who handles 12g shotguns and shoots trap, should have the strength to shoot a pistol correctly.

      Even with a polymer gun, a 9mm should not be kicking that badly. Try having an instructor watch you shoot, and go from there.
      The "best" handgun caliber debate rages on, meanwhile I just keep buying low recoil 00 buck.

        I own a glock 17 and it's the softest recoiling gun I own minus a couple .22's
        Do not go gentle into that good night.
        Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

          Haha. My uncle showed my how to grip in correctly, I was hitting 3 inch steel discs at 15 yards.

              Ok, now maybe I'm having a total mental block, but recoil only happens after the shot is fired, so how would it affect your hitting the target?

              I have a 19, so I can't speak for the 17, but I know that the recoil on mine is fine. Not too harsh, although I typically shoot 115 gr, so that may have something to do with it.

              Have you taken lessons? Maybe there's something in your stance or grip that is off... wouldn't hurt to have someone give you advice after watching you shoot to let you know exactly what is wrong.

                9mm glocks are really tame. And common 1911s are even more so imo.

                  It will affect how he hits targets if he is anticipating the recoil.

                  Its not really the recoil itself that throws the shots off. Its the shooters percieved need to compensate for that recoil as the trigger breaks and the shot is fired. At the last second, they push the barrel down to try and fight the recoil or raise the barrel up to try and go with the recoil...instead of just accepting the recoil and letting the shot "surprise" them.

                  Consistant practice with a decent coach can help break the habit.

                    It could happen.

                    Someone better warn Janelle before it happens again:
