I actually feel less recoil with my USPc .45 than with my USP .45. Not sure why but that's the way it felt to me. And I was shooting them back to back to compare.
I've heard that ALOT since joining HKPro. . . funny but my experience is the opposite.
Initially, I had been shooting the fullsize USP 45 (range rental). I loved it. When I bought my USP Compact 45, I didn't realize that it was not the same gun as the fullsize. I was expecting it to feel almost exactly the same as the range-gun I'd been renting. The first few times I shot my new USP Compact 45, I immediately noticed the difference from the fullsize one I was used to. It was noticeably (to me) sharper-feeling in recoil than the fullsize, and I was not particularly pleased about it. I thought the fullsize felt smoother, calmer, better. After a few sessions though, I settled right in to the USP Compact and never bothered to look back.
. . . and I am wondering if the less felt recoil is due to the smaller grip which would allow most people without huge hands to get a better overall hold on it?
. . .with a shorter slide and less weight, the only reason I can think of that would prompt so many people to say that they feel less recoil is the grip dimensions.
Hmmmm. . . interesting thought. . . maybe the smaller grip is responsible for the perceived difference.
