Low Recoil 9mm Pistols.

Of all the 9mm pistols I have shot, by far the lowest recoil and most-accurate shooting is from the Browning Hi Power. Ergonomics are perfect and, assuming its trigger/action is tuned, is as reliable and 10-ring accurate as anything out there.
I'm a fan of the Browning BDM 9mm as well. It's a 4.75" barrel, so nearly full-size. 15+1 capacity. Extremely slim, so it's possible to use as a concealed-carry weapon, with some reliability tuning or after having shot 20K+ rounds through it (to loosen up everything). Plop in a stainless, full-length guide rod and you have a gun with very little recoil and muzzle flip.
Recently, I picked up a CZ P-01, which is shorter than the HiPower or BDM by an inch, and quite a bit lighter given the forged aluminum frame. Though I've only put 475 rounds through it so far, it has light recoil, little muzzle flip, is very accurate and great ergonomics (for my hand).
If you're looking for cheap practice, the BDM's can be found (used) for well under $300 if you're patient.

CZ75 SP01
is the softest shooting 9 I've ever shot (I too find the hipower a tad snappy).

The BHP has a lightwieght slide compared to many other service sized pistols.
This can make it seem snappy. Try a Ruger p series for A heavier slide or a Sig for a better out of the box grip.

The lowest recoil 9mm I've ever had the pleasure of shooting was a SIG X5. Recoil? Whats that...

i would like to add another vote for a glock 17, they felt nice, there was recoil but it was well um natural, it was a pleasure to shoot, the recoil felt like how it should. But then i shoot a sig which is heaver and i hated it, the grip was just off, recoil "felt" like it was not natural.
hope your not too confused, hard to explian
