Hi Tad, recoil is actually going to be very similar. I shoot 40 and 38 +P. The revolver just has a sharper recoil impulse than the 40 due to the softer recirc feature of the semi-auto. Any non recirc firearm will do this. Shorter revolver barrel + less weight + non gas recirulation + sharper recoil impulse makes the 2 actually very similar in actual recoil. (I can see the numbers matching if you are talking a stout 357Mag load though).

This is going to have massive recoil. It only weighs 21-22ozs and a 357 is a hefty round. Your Glock has a recoil spring to absorb some of the recoil, the revolver doesn't. If you're recoil sensitive, this gun may not be for you.

I once had an m&p 360. With hot loaded 357 magnum loads it would roll back in my hand and take my trigger finger with it. I got rid of that gun because my 500 s&w had less recoil. I have a ruger sp101 in 357 that does fine. The steel frame makes a lot of difference in felt recoil and I won't own another lightweight magnum revolver.
