The recoil of my 75B is quite mild even with "hot" ammo like Hirtenberger 100gr +P+ JSP or Winchester Ranger 127gr +P+ (my chosen 9mm SD load) due to the weight. Accuracy is quite good and my gun seems to prefer 124-127gr bullets. The gun is also quite comfortable in the hand and the 4.72" barrel makes the gun balance quite well (not unlike a Gov't Model 1911).
