Marauder SASS #13056 Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Consider that the 380 pistols are almost always a blow-back design. That makes them have more felt recoil. Nearly 9 mm have some form of delayed process that helps absorb felt recoil. That is why the 380 is so snappy compared to even small 9mm pistols. I've been very happy with my Taurus GX4 for when I don't worry about covering my Glock 19. So check out a variety of the great new small 9mms to see what fits your hand best.

Rip Snorter Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Slide racking is important. My Daughter is a very fit but small former varsity athlete and struggled a bit with a S&W 9mm I picked up for her. I ended up selling it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smuteye John SASS#24774 Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 So you want something light, small AND low recoil? Sorry, you only can get 2 out of the 3, so pick which 2 you want. If it's light and small, it's gonna kick. If it's small and has a low recoil, then it's not gonna be light (weight cuts felt recoil). If it's light and low recoiling, then it won't be small.
