[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 756082, member: 1132"] Barrel length can affect muzzle rise, but other things do as well. The HK USP type guns will always have more muzzle rise. It's a function of bore centerline to grip measurements. Put the M&P in one hand and the P30 in the other, then extend them side by side with your thumbs lined up at the same height. You'll notice that the P30 slide & barrel sit much higher over your hand than the M&P. That gives the recoil more leverage over your hand/wrist and induces more muzzle rise. All things being equal, the gun with a lower bore height will have less muzzle rise. Other things that also affect muzzle rise are weight, balance, lockup (dwell time), springing of the gun (recoil spring weight), grip angle and most importantly, your grip on the gun. [/QUOTE]
