I don't mind a little recoil now and then. In handguns, admittedly the biggest I've shot is a 44 magnum revolver, and while there was some muzzle flip, I wasn't left in pain and I never felt the gun was unmanageable. In long guns, I've shot a lot of larger commercial calibers, with .300 win mag being one of the largest shoulder fired guns I've fired. The recoil was noticeable, but not unbearably so. I haven't had the opportunity to fire a lot of large bore rifles, so maybe I've just not been introduced to the levels of painful recoil some people experience, but I can shoot my 12 gauge all day, or my 54r for an afternoon and might be a bit sore the next morning.
Or maybe I'm just a super tough strapping young lad.
