Any comments about how much of a wuss I am are welcome

I've shot a .270 only once, with a steel but-plate, IIRC, and that's nothing to sneeze at. My 12-guage field double with the hard-plastic but-plate beats me up as well. The larger trap gun with the recoil pad that I had a smithy install is much more manageable.
If nothing else, get yourself a slip-on recoil pad.

www.cheaperthandirt.com both have them for a few bucks. That might be all you need.
