I like the 9mm idea better than a .380 but I'm worried about recoil I want to be able to enjoy shooting what ever I buy and I know alot of the pocket/mouse guns are no fun to shoot.

How do you like shooting the Mini-Thunder?

I really like it. I have over 4000 rounds through it. I put a full sized barrel in it, and shot some IDPA type events. Did okay for a slow old guy.

Of course, I'm carrying and practicing with a Taurus compact PT145 now. The two are not real different for size and weight. Shooting the .45 for a while makes the 9mm seem like a playday.
