Best summary I've seen.If 115gr is used the recoil is going to be less than .357 125gr, but I don't go into a 9mm revolver expecting it to be as comfortable as a .38 in a snub, I go into it expecting it not to be the punisher that .357 is and from many others that is generally their opinion of 9 vs .357 in a revolver: the recoil is there, but it's not .357 levels.
Recoil in small 9mm revolvers is most manageable with heavier bullets. Not too surprisingly, 147 gr 9s feel a great deal like warmish .38 Spl.
