Actual recoil and felt recoil are two different critters. The former in general is important to rifle shooters while the latter more important to handgunners.
Felt recoil varies based on the weight of the gun, the round being shot (it's weight and velocity), the type of weapon being shot (semi, versus da revolver, versus s.a. wheelgun or single shot), the shape of the grips and type of grip material as well as the shooters tolerance for recoil.
So recoil calculations on actual recoil tell only a part of the story. To know you have to shoot.
