9mm handgun with least felt recoil?

[Grayrider]

Hmm...$500 or less. The CZ SP-01 is just barely over that....

Most plain-jane Beretta 92s in my area are around $525 NIB. The Inox models are about $50 more.

I've got five 9mm handguns, Browning HP, Smith 3913, Kel-Tec P11, Walther P38 and a recently aquired Taurus PT92AF. Despite the aluminum frame, the Taurus has the least amount of felt recoil, muzzle flip and muzzel blast. I had a 9mm only day at the range with a buddy of mine recently, he brought his Sig and his Glocks. We had 1000 rounds of 9mm ammo, Wolf and WWB, we both fired all the guns. We were both surprised by the lack of felt recoil and muzzle flip displayed by the Taurus, it's really noticibly less than all the others. It's still not as accurate or as comfortable to shoot as the Browning (but what is?), but he and I were both mightily impressed with the Taurus. I traded a WASR10 AK for the Taurus with the intention of immediatly trading it away for another Glock, but after shooting it I think I'll keep it around.

HK P7 is the softest I have shot.

The USP9 fullsize, with their recoil reducing double spring system, shoots like a .22.

The full size USP would have been my pick also.
