Depends to some degree on how the cartridge is loaded, and the weight of the gun firing it- heavy guns recoil less. Recoil is similar to a .38 Special- more than a .22, less than a .45. My granddaughter is in her mid teens and shoots my Browning Hi Power 9mm, so recoil is not that bad.

How much more does a 30 caliber revolver recoil than a 9mm?Thanks


Is a 40 harder to shot then a 9mm?

There's a little more recoil, but if you can handle a 9mm, then a .40 shouldn't be a problem for you.


Can you fire 9mm blanks in a real 9mm gun?

Yes, but they will fire as a single shot. Unless the pistol is modified, it will not cycle when fired. These guns are recoil operated- and blanks do not produce significant recoil.


What has more blowback 357 magnum or 9mm luger?

.357 Magnum will have more recoil.


Which has more kick 9mm .40 .45 ACP?

Generally speaking, the 9mm will have the least recoil of those 3. When comparing 40 to 45, the 40 has a sharper recoil because it is a higher pressure cartridge than the 45, and most people interpret that as heavier recoil. However, all of that is conditional on the size and weight of the gun. When shooting a heavier gun, you will generally feel less recoil than when shooting a comparable gun that is lighter. So a big heavy 45 will have less recoil than a small light 45.


What is better 9mm or 45 calibre?

The 9mm came into popularity because of it's high capacity magazines which hold between 15-20 rounds where a .45 holds between 7-10. the .45 fires a 185-230 grain bullet, the 9mm about half that. The stopping power of the 9mm is minimal compared to the .45. The bullet diameters are .45 inch and .38 inch. The 9mm is less expensive to shoot and recoil is minimal which makes it a good choice for target shooting, the .45 is a little more costly to shoot and has a bit more recoil. It would also depend on what you want it for, to shoot target and such the 9mm will do it for you, for defence I would take the .45 over the 9mm alrhough the 9mm is a fair defence piece. they both have their points, Good luck choosing......


Which is better 9mm or 40 caliber?

Which is better- Spaghetti or pizza? The .40 cal has more energy, and appears to be a higher "stopping power" round than the 9mm Parabellum. The 9mm has less recoil, and the ammunition is (generally) less expensive. You will find folks that can argue BOTH sides of this questions. EDIT* The .40 is generally preferred in combat situtations as it is significantly more powerful and is not too much bigger.


How much gun powder is in a 9mm?

Depends on which powder, and which loading of the 9mm.


How is the recoil in a Glock 17?

About average for a 9mm Parabellum pistol. Maybe a little more than a heavier, steel framed pistol, but it's still easy to control.


Why did the beretta 9mm replace the colt 1911?

The 9mm was standard among NATO (and most militaries who weren't somehow in bed with the Soviet Union), it has lower recoil (which makes it easier to control), a higher magazine capacity, and single actions designs were at a point where they were considered outdated.


Can 124 grain be used in a Smith and Wesson 9ve?

You may use any 9mm Parabellum (9mm Luger) cartridge that is standard or +P, including 124 grain ammo. Recoil may be higher than with 115 grain ammo. Do NOT use a +P+ cartridge.


What is the difference between a 9mm bullet and a 45 cal bullet?

The main difference between a 9mm and a .45 caliber bullet is the diameter. A 9mm bullet has a diameter of 9 millimeters, while a .45 caliber bullet has a diameter of .45 inches. The .45 caliber bullet is larger and generally heavier than the 9mm bullet, resulting in differences in recoil, speed, and stopping power.
