Btw by Newton's third law, recoil = power / weight. Barrel length has some effect, but basically however much force pushes the bullet forward will also push the gun back and up, resisted by the weignt of the gun. We want light weight and we want power, both of which increase recoil.

FELT recoil is reduced by proper high grip (so recoil is backwards, not up) and proper posture (so your your body resists recoil, not your wrists or elbows).
