Felt recoil is extremely subjective and influenced by a variety of factors besides action type. Because only a few cartridges are commonly chambered in both revolvers and semi-automatics, the comparison between them is often one of apples-to-oranges.
Even if you had a semi-automatic and a revolver of equal weight, both chambered for the same cartridge, and both firing the same ammunition, factors such as the fit of the grip to your hand, the bore axis of the guns, and which gun you fired first (how much recoil you've already had to endure) would likely influence your perception.
