Muzzle flip on compacts?

[racerx9797]

Can anyone tell me how muzzle flip on a PCR or compact compares to a full size 75?  

Has anyone done any IPDA or IPSC shooting with a compact 75 and what do feel are this guns strenghs/weaknesses in competition?

The day I got my PCR was the one and only time I have shot an IDPA match.  Not that I didn't like it, my schedule changed and I haven't been able to get back the days they haave the shoot.  Anyway I tool the PCR out of the box and shot the match.  Had the full size with me but decided to try out the PCR.  It was great. not a jam one, and the accuracy was equal to the full size.   It was easier for me to draw from conceilment than the CZ75.  I will use it again when I go back.

I don't notice a great difference in recoil between the two.  The PCR recoil is a bit more, but not enough so as to be a problem.

My PCR seems to recoil quite a bit less then my old Glock 19 ever did. Very easy gun to shoot. The PCR feels soooo good in my hand, and I've just recently switched to HAVING to shoot left handed. I went to the range again yesterday and put 150 rounds thru it. It's now up to 400 rounds of 6 different brands of ammo, some HP, most FMJ. NO problems yet...and I don't foresee any in it's future.

Good luck,

The fullsized guns I have shot and my compact recoil virtually the same...there is very little wt. difference.  2.2 lbs vs 2 lbs
Now between the fullsize and the PCR there is over a 1/2 lb. difference...that will recoil a bit more...shoot well

   I've got a PCR and I've shot Spazz's CZ-75SA.

   The PCR's recoil is noticeably less than the HK USP9c I used to have. But it is noticeably more than the SA. It doesn't particularly kick back, but there is more muzzle flip than the SA.
   The SA has a heavier slide than normal full sized CZ's, which would serve to dampen the recoil.
