My P09 9MM is the most accurate semi auto pistol I've ever fired. I've had two buddies over the years with Colt NM .45's, my son has a Beretta 90-2 and I've got several brands of semi-auto 9's, .40's, and .45's. The P09 is it. Only my P07 comes close.
As far as the recoil goes? My first time shooting it was just after we'd been shooting my M&P .357 SIG full sized pistol. We finished with the S&W and I put it down and picked up the P09 9MM. I knew it was going off (holes in the target, empties on the ground, but (compared to the M&P .357 SIG anyway) the recoil was so light I kept having to fight the feeling that it was not firing. That was a weird feeling. Part of your mind knows something is happening and part of your mind is questioning whether or not it's really happening.
