No Recoil

Up there on my list of pet peeves when it comes to gunwriters: claiming that some mouse-gun or smaller caliber thing has "no recoil". B.S. - the physics of shooting dictates that there WILL be recoil. Not as much as something bigger, of course, but even an air rifle will have recoil. For instance: Cornered Cat has a entry on the latest Glock 42, single-stack .380, and she claims it has "no recoil". Right. I suppose I will simply have to roll my eyes when such claims are parroted by the gunwriters.
