Nearly any 9mm pistol that weighs 35 ounces or more will have minimal recoil - the exception is the Astra 600 with a blowback action.
Yes, but .... https://www.hi-pointfirearms.com/hi-point-handguns/9mm-OGYC.phpStraight blowback with that cartridge will never ever be a good idea!
My experience as well with the Hi Power, I have not shot a CZ enough to say. I like my Hi Power a lot but it is quite a bit snappier than my Steyr S9, Walther PPQ or G22 with a 9mm barrel. My Sig P365 might even be a softer shooter but I haven't shot the two side by side.I did an informal test of my “service sized” 9s and both I and another shooter agreed that the CZ75 and Hi Power were not among the softest feeling of the bunch we tried. In fact for me they are among the flippiest.
The 92 is an aluminum framed gun not steel. Not saying it’s a bad shooter, just making sure we keep materials straight.Beretta 92
I agree on the bore axis and rail configuration part. That’s always left me a little puzzled too. It’s relatively low on a CZ, but the rail configuration doesn't really make that reality.I did an informal test of my “service sized” 9s and both I and another shooter agreed that the CZ75 and Hi Power were not among the softest feeling of the bunch we tried. In fact for me they are among the flippiest. I keep hearing people say how the “low bore axis” (usually misspoken as bore access) of the CZ makes it shoot really flat... but a thinking person will realize that simply moving the frame rails to the outside rather than the inside doesn’t actually move the bore any lower in relation to your hand. But nobody ever points that out.
There was a number of 92 models with steel frames. IIRC Billenium was one. The Centennial, too. Among the current guns, the 92X Performance has a steel frame, at least according to Beretta:The 92 is an aluminum framed gun not steel.

Yes that’s true, but those aren’t the models that were referenced by the person I quoted.There was a number of 92 models with steel frames. IIRC Billenium was one. The Centennial, too. Among the current guns, the 92X Performance has a steel frame, at least according to Beretta:

You're right -- I was thinking he just wanted a "non-plastic" gun, but looking back at the OP I see that he specified steel and didn't like the 92 anyway.The 92 is an aluminum framed gun not steel. Not saying it’s a bad shooter, just making sure we keep materials straight.
... I loved that hi power (just did not love the high price as it was an earlier, collectible type.)
