So the first handgun I ever shot was my fathers M&P in .40 when I was 14. I was a very small kid and the recoil physically hurt to handle. I think this paved the way for me developing a terrible flinch. Now 7 or 8 years later I can hit anything with my ruger mkII but when you put a 9mm in my hands I turn into a limp wristed fairy who flinches all over the place. Im much much bigger now so wrist strength is not the issue, its all psychological. How do I get over this? Ive been practicing with 9mm but havent got much better. Should I buy a lighter kicking gun in a smaller caliber to help work my way up to something bigger?
