recoil

Okay, over the last year or so I lost a LOT of weight, about 90 pounds. I went from a pretty beefy guy to downright lean (I look a lot more like my dad now.) But now I'm finding some of my long guns actually kinda hurt to shoot. I never had this problem before, and I wonder if the "fat pad," for...

I have heard a few people say that the recoil impulse of the LCP 2 (.380) is way too snappy. I plan on carrying the WWB 95 Grain FMJ rounds. For anyone who has shot an LCP 2, even better with the WWB 95 Grain, what is your opinion on the recoil/shootability? I know everyone's recoil tolerance is...

Hi! I'm not sure where this subject belongs. My Mom is 88 years old and after a nasty fall coming out of the hardware store the day before Thanksgiving, she had to have her elbow replaced with (I'm guessing) a titanium elbow. She shattered her left elbow. But, being the feisty one that she is...

Hello everyone, I know that the Tavor 7 in 7.62x51 is fairly new but for those who have shot it at least a few or so times, how would the recoil impulse compare to a SCAR-H? Do you think the Tavor 7’s recoil impulse kills optics? Also, which budget scopes out there/ the cheapest scopes that...

I was at the range yesterday shooting a STOEGER 8040, this is the Turkish made copy of the old BERETTA 8040 pistol in .40 S&W. I shot some 165 grain WINCHESTER fmj and a mix of 180 grain fmj and hollow point. Then I tried some old 155 grain jhp made by REMINGTON and issued when my agency went to...

So, I have several powders that can be used for 9 and would like the collective wisdom from those who have used these to offer their opinions. I'm not looking for load data - I'll develop ladders and chrono the results - just input as to which would offer the best combo of low recoil with...

Is there really any truth to the claims about it soaking up recoil like some kind of magical kinetic sponge? Or is it all just hype? I'm referring to both pocket and full sized.

I found one called the VooDoo Jet compensator and it looks like it works in the video. Its around $80 and I'm cheap. lol Are there compensators out there cheaper that work as good as that one? I'm upgrading my AR slowly and right now I'm looking to lighten the recoil.

I have a Taurus PT-111 pistol. As a budget gun it has been very satisfying. I have read that the plastic recoil spring guide fails after a few thousand rounds. And while Taurus will replace it free, its the same assembly that just broke. I understand there are aftermarket units that are all...

My wife's hands are not as good as they use to be. I need something with very light recoil. The Phoenix has a light recoil but we can get our hands on a Bersa Thunder 380 to feel the recoil. Has anyone felt the recoil on the BT?

These springs all come with firing pin springs, which are a bit of a pain to change. Question, should I replace the firing pin springs or just save them as spares? I have factory springs in my 2nd and 3rd generation S&W stainless 9mm pistols and bought some stronger springs because I have...

Admittedly this is a total newbie question involving bad math. I know I am wrong about something here, I just want to be shown where I am wrong. My understanding of FPE is that it is the measurement of the energy needed to move a one lb object a distance of one foot. My 30-06 gets to right...
