Not in my experience. ....not even ultra-light nines.
And IMHO, recoil can be an accuracy issue in some of the larger calibers.
That’s what I’ve heard. I’ve never fired a 9mm, the only handguns I’ve ever fired have been a small .380 semi-auto and a .38 revolver. I had no trouble controlling the recoil on either one (even though I was a lousy shot), and from what I’ve heard, the recoil on a 9mm isn’t really much worse than a .38 Special, is it?
Around here on FR, on the “help me buy a gun” threads, seems like the 9mm Parabellum isn’t a good self-defense round. .45 ACP is better, I guess?

Took my mom and sis shooting yesterday. Second time for mom, first for sis.
Had them firing .38Special and .44Special out of S&W .357Mag and .44Mag.
They loved it. Mom was a deadeye too with that .44. Both were hitting the targets with every shot at 7yds.
My wife is recoil sensitive and loves her Glock 19 (9mm).
Where do these idiots come up with this tripe? I have a Ruger P89 that I am so comfortable with I'd be willing to swear it was removed from me at birth, and I just happened to find it later in life. Now, this is a full frame and heavy so far as 9mm's go, but I've fired many versions of this caliber and found none of them to have this, it [the 9mm handgun] delivers a fearsome kick, which leads to anticipatory flinching,. What inane BS. I guess if one is asceeeerrrd of it to begin with then all bets are off. Blackbird.
