Metal 9mm with least muzzle jump

[nickorette]

In my eternal search and evaluation for a first handgun, I'd like to throw this out there, and see what opinions come up.

I know a few plastic guns have little muzzle jump, but the ones I've looked at/fired have no interest to me.

Cz75 - Sp01

stainless P226 I had was very soft shooting, 92FS is alloy framed but it's aso very plasan to shoot.

Tanfoglio Stock II.

You might want to take a look at an IMI/Magnum Research Baby Eagle in 9mm. I had one in .40, and it was absolutely spectacular.

Of the ones I shot the CZ SP01 shadow.
It's a very nice gun.

I've shot both Sig P226ST and CZ SP-01 and Sig definitely feels softer and has less muzzle rise.

 

[darko]

SP01 has lots of heft to it especially up front near the muzzle... gets a thumbs up from me.

What!?
What kind of sig is this..?

 

[maurice]

my vote is Spo1 and Stock2..

 

[eh class]

I concur with Mo !

Any of the gas retarded pistols as the recoil is straight back into the hand with minimal muzzle flip. HK P7 series, Steyr GB and Norinco M77B/NP20 are gas retarded, ranging in price from 229 dollars to 1800 for a P7M8. Also, the Grand Power K100 has very little muzzle flip due to the rotating barrel lockup.

Vote for the sig P226

 

[damndirtyape]

I've heard the Steyr M-1A's frame is metal with a polymer coating, but I can't say for sure. Regardless, it has very little muzzle flip.

 

[Trigun]

Beretta 92FS and CZ SP01 or if you don't mind plastic, G17 has very little muzzle jump due to the grip angle and low bore axis.

Get a plastic gun with a ported barrel. Nice and light, but with very little muzzle flip. I haven't seen a G17C (compensated) or one of the Questar G19's with ported barrels in awhile though so you could be watching the EE for some time.

What!?

P226 Stainless

 

[phatns2pid]

Oh man, the Sig P226 stainless is so friggin' heavy that there should be no issue with muzzle jump. Only issue is holding it steady if you don't have those forearm muscles built up, due to the weight.

Trigun: of all the pistols I've shot, the Glock 17 had the most muzzle flip, discounting the .44 mag I shot (which still felt nicer to shoot than the Glock ).

9mm Jericho 941 (Baby Eagle)

You might want to take a look at an IMI/Magnum Research Baby Eagle in 9mm. I had one in .40, and it was absolutely spectacular.

I've got one in 9mm and it's a shooter - very little jump/recoil due to weight - everyone at the range loves it.

least felt recoil?

I've heard the Steyr M-1A's frame is metal with a polymer coating, but I can't say for sure. Regardless, it has very little muzzle flip.

I wholeheartedly agree. My m9a1 handles beautifully, considerably less than my beretta 92 as far as felt recoil and muzzle flip
