Recoil mitigation is revelant with those revolvers. They appear to be .38 special which does have some kick. Regardless, even with 9mm it's important. These are pistols. You need to land multiple hits to stop a threat. Recoil mitigation determines how quickly you can fire accurately again, which determines how many shots you can land in the precious few seconds you have to defend yourself.
