Is it just me or do most .380 auto pistols actually kick more than a similar sized 9mm? I know it is because of the usually unlocked breach of most
.380s.
The reason for my question is that you hear so many people recomend
.380's for women with small or weak hands. My off-duty FEG PA-380 is harder to rack than many 9mm's I've shot. And, due to it's aluminum frame,
it kicks like a .357 mag! Even the all steel PPK backed up harder than my
Hi-power.
So why do folks recomend them for women and arthritis sufferers?
