recoil
Recoil (often called knockback, kickback or simply kick) is the backward momentum of a gun when it is discharged. In technical terms, the recoil caused by the gun exactly balances the forward momentum of the projectile and exhaust gases (ejecta), according to Newton's third law. In most small arms, the momentum is transferred to the ground through the body of the shooter; while in heavier guns such as mounted machine guns or cannons, the momentum is transferred to the ground through its mount. In order to bring the gun to a halt, a forward counter-recoil force must be applied to the gun over a period of time. Generally, the counter-recoil force is smaller than the recoil force, and is applied over a time period that is longer than the time that the recoil force is being applied (i.e. the time during which the ejecta are still in the barrel of the gun). This imbalance of forces causes the gun to move backward until it is motionless.
A change in momentum results in a force, which according to Newton's second law is equal to the time derivative of the momentum of the gun. The momentum is equal to the mass of the gun multiplied by its velocity. This backward momentum is equal in magnitude, by the law of conservation of momentum, to the forward momentum of the ejecta (projectile(s), wad, propellant gases, etc...) from the gun. If the mass and velocity of the ejecta are known, it is possible to calculate a gun's momentum and thus the energy. In practice, it is often simpler to derive the gun's energy directly with a reading from a ballistic pendulum or ballistic chronograph.

I was wondering if anyone has experience shooting a S&W m&p 45 and what the recoil is like out of that pistol? If it's bad has anyone tried one of those dpm recoil springs? I've never used them but for 45 put of a polymer gun I would think of trying it to fix the recoil if it's pretty bad. Thanks.
Brand new. Only mocked up on slide.
Parker Mountain Machine JTTC Micro barrel and comp for a Glock G48. Shims, loctite, and Muschi mounting block are included.
*slide not included but I may be persuaded if the cash value is right.
I currently have these comps on multiple handguns and can’t...
For Sale is a lightly used Sig Sauer P226 Recoil Reduction System by DPM. Can be used with 9mm/.40 S&W/.357 Sig.
Cash Only. I will ship USPS for an extra $5.
Relisting this -- this has been sitting in the safe since I bought it new. It's never been fired or even taken outside. I got a great deal on a Creedmoor heavy barrel action, so this needs to go.

fits both commercial and milspec tubes with anti wobble technology.
great for 308 rifles or in my case was on a siaga 12guage.
retails for $90.
I'd like $45

Bought this on a whim. Cool concept just not really for me. Low round count..I've brought it to the range twice and put under 200 rounds on it. More affordable alternative to the JP SCS. There are available weight kits so you can change your buffer easily. This one comes with a...
So I was at bass pro in LV and overheard a group of people talking about which scope to buy for their air rifle. Idk which scope they decided on but when they asked the worker behind the counter to look at it, the worker said he doesn't recommended any of the scopes in the display case to be...

6 Things You Can Do To Improve Your Recoil Control With A Handgun | Shooting-Performance.com
I have an early Interarms Walther PPK/S I took to the range for the first time last night. The recoil was BRUTAL, it felt like I was shooting .357 out of an LCP. 15 hours later the web of my hand is still bruised. When I was cleaning the gun afterward, I noticed the recoil spring was flat wound...
Last Christmas, I installed the highly regarded CDM Mod-C Flashlight Clamp on my 870, paired with a Surefire G2X. Yesterday I took it out to shoot and the clamp started moving forward on me after a box of slugs. The flashlight was marred and blackened but still functions perfectly (Surefire...
For those who have shot both, does one have less recoil than the other? Let's say the rifles were essentially the same design/weight with typical for caliber factory loads. Online research seems to have differing opinions. I found the chuck hawks recoil chart but it doesn't seem to have the 6.5...
Any one else among us that had bad shoulders? I'm looking to get one of the Caldwell Past recoil shields. They have three thicknesses. 1", 1/2" and 1/4". I don't shoot enough to justify spending any more that the $30.00+/- for one. I'm thinking the 1". That folded hand towel doesn't stay...
Stopped in a local gun shop I hadn't visited before today. They didn't have a used Hi Power and they weren''t busy, so we just shot the shjt about guns in general.
I forget how we ended up there, but the fellow behind the counter mentioned that "today's .357 magnum ammo is nowhere near as...
