my first handgun.. CZ PO6, awesome, natural shooter to point, hit point of aim, little recoil (for me), then my wife bought me a CZ 40B! then I bought a full size 75 .40, ALL are just as nice and sweet a gun.. ALL super reliable, accurate. Then I finally found and bought a 75Compact .9mm all steel.. super reliable, accurate.. sweet gun. CZ just rocks. I find very little difference in recoil if given similar comparision bullet weights and speeds are concerned. High velocity in either.. increases's felt recoil. not bad, just more. Slower velocity equals less recoil. Just my .02c
K in MI - and enjoy
