Good point--gun fit is important.
I have a pistol that I consider very enjoyable to shoot. The recoil is mild, the trigger is good, the gun is accurate.
I let a female friend shoot it and she immediately complained that the recoil was painful. The grip turned out to be too large for her and so she was "cheating" her hand around on the grip to reach the trigger. The result was that the recoil, mild though it might be, was driving the grip into the main knuckle of her thumb right where a blood vessel and nerve was located. The blood vessel ruptured and the nerve complained.
That gun was not a good gun for her, however much I liked it. Had she continued to use it, I have no doubt she would have either developed a flinch, or worsened any existing flinch.
