To a degree, sure.
I found that I dislike the recoil of a Ruger LCP. it's very snappy, there isn't much to hold on to, the slide bites my hand every outing, and the narrow backstrap bangs something in my palm which causes an ache that coincides with a nasty shake after just a few dozen rounds.
On the other end of the spectrum, as I've aged, i've found that while I can still shoot my model 69 .44 magnum for short stints, I have no interest in shooting truly high-powered rounds, or anything larger than a .44 mag in general. Hurts my wrists after just a dozen rounds or so, and really big cannons like the S&W 500, hurt my elbows nowadays.
Within the common range of pistol rounds, 9mm through 45ACP or even .357 magnum I don't have any issues. Yet. Get back to me when i hit 60.
