CZ 75 B 9MM
The recoil is soft and short when shooting standard 9mm rounds, and the pistol's recoil management system is one of its best features. The CZ 75B is priced around 1900. Other similar pistols, such as the Sig Sauer Legion P226, can run you $14,000 or more, so this is a great, reliable option if you're on a budget.
