Once the recoil spring settled, it recoils like a larger gun. Think Glock 19ish. It's a small gun so expect a little more recoil at first until you make a firm adjustment to your support hand grip. One handed. both strong and weak, the gun is fine. Canik did a good job matching the recoil spring assembly to a 3.1" barrel.
I ran 114PF (Rival S Chrono) ammo in it after 250 rounds. No hiccups!
I also put 50 rounds of Freedom Munitions 124g XTP through it with no issues.
