Your LCP Max is also a tilt barrel design, which is why it has less recoil than the straight blowback designs you mentioned.
My wife prefers my full size, steel frame 1911 to her M&P9c. The recoil impulse is slower and less aggravating to he joints. She just can't hold it as well. Making her a shooter ain't likely to happen.
