Everything I have read on the polymer Public Defender says that the frame absorbs almost 1/2 the felt recoil. Something about the way it doesn't transmit the force like a steel framed one. Hopefully I can shoot one before I pull the trigger(pun intended) on getting one. My hope is that the wife can shoot it, which is why the .410 is a nice option.

I shoot the CZ pretty often, and I enjoy it...I like shooting a 9mm, but it's too small for my hand between the trigger guard and the end of the grip. The Glock is the nicest fit I have held yet, only slightly better than the Kimber 1911 I shot(that would need new grips to be useful to me, the loophole has a really sharp point in the corner).
