Depending on the particular pistol as well as projectile weight, there can be a huge difference in the felt recoil of a 9mm. I carry a Glock 19C every day and believe is has a milder recoil than any other 9MM pistol I've shot. I'm sure some would disagree but I would also be comfortable carrying the 22TCM resides in my safe. The pistol is heavy but recoil is VERY mild. If excessive noise is an issue for you the 22TCM is not an option you want to consider.
I don't consider myself recoil sensitive since the 454 Casull I shoot occasionally doesn't bother me. I haven't watched a hundred videos but I have learned from shooting regularly in the Carry gun match that recoil does impact follow up shots dramatically. As a dearly departed friend of mine used to say, better a BB in the eye that a howitzer in the middle of a 10 acre field.
I can only restate what others have stated, there is nothing more important than shot placement in a self defense situation.
