What Crossfire said. They don't bother me that much, but I'm used to pretty heavy recoiling pistols. If recoil is an issue for you, then I would definitely recommend a steel framed gun like the SP101 snatchel showed above. Another possibility is the S&W model 640, which actually doesn't have too bad of a trigger, and is also a fully stainless steel pistol. The advantage of snatchel's Ruger over a model 640 is that it does not have an enclosed hammer. This gives you the ability to cock the pistol by pulling back on the hammer, and that will give you a very light single action trigger pull. The DISadvantage of snatchel's Ruger when compared to a model 640 is that the 640's enclosed hammer prevents it getting snagged on anything when trying to draw the gun in a hurry.

Definitely do take advantage of any opportunity you can get to rent or borrow sample guns to shoot first before you go buy one for yourself.
