If so, how do the recoils compare? I've shot neither. My wife would like an LCP but I'm afraid that her hands would suffer.
After about a hundred rounds on the LC9, I tend to get a cut on my finger, but the recoil is no problem otherwise. I can't get through a few mag fulls with the LCP before my hand starts to shake involuntarily, and I can't shoot worth a darn at that point, and it takes about an hour before the shaking stops. Don't know why that is, but that's my experience.
