As far as recoil I can't say much as that has been on the stainless frame and all that I have shot so far is the BEE. They do fill the hand well and are very comfortable. I got mine unfinished and did a little sanding to fit my hand. I think that helps tame the recoil it transfers the energy more equally to your hand. I then used semi gloss urathane and finished them. After shooting with them for a few years now I knid of think I'll slim down the trigger finger area just a little more. That's the nice thing about the urathane finish, just sand and modify then coat it a few more times and it looks new again.
