Maybe, though, you can give an example or two of what you mean.
Those who have no trouble handling recoil can do so.
No need to cogitate over type of gun or load.
Those who can't handle recoil won't benefit as much from switching to other guns or calibers as they would from spending their resources learning to shoot better.
Recoil control is an acquired skill, like anything else.
An example.
New guy shows up at an action pistol match with their regular gear.
Sees what the high scorer is using and runs out before the next match to get the same thing.
Suffers disappointment with the results and runs out to buy something else.
Same thing - no improvement in spite of different gun, caliber, holster, 'etc.
Someone takes pity on them and shows them how to shoot better.
Little light goes on between their ears and they begin to zip up the score sheet.
I've lost count how many times I've seen that same scenario played and replayed.
Yup, here it comes again, one of my favorites:
"The gun is the least of it."
Ahh, I feel much better, now.
But don't mind me.
If ya' all want to talk "stuff" that's fun, too.
