I don't find recoil all the unpleasant. Akin to a hot 110gr and 125gr 357 from a similar firearm.

Maybe it is imagination but 327 seems louder. Maybe it is. But I think unpleasant muzzle blast gets correlated into more recoil since things like eyes and some inner ear bones are sensitive to pressure. Even with good ear protection some of the little bones take a beating.

An extra 10,000psi will do that. (45k vs 35k). Mass of the projectile has a big impact on recoil, but loudness and tone are really just about the gas.
