The softest recoiling semi-autos will be gas operated guns ...vs inertia operated guns....
In general I would agree but my experience has been a bit different. I have a heavy gas operated Beretta that punishes me all day long and a light inertia operated Benelli Super Sport that I can shoot all day without it bothering me.

The Benelli has a recoil system that sounds magical from the manufactures description. When I got it I thought it was probably more hype than anything but have been very impressed with it and now only bring the Beretta out to loan to other people.

I have not had a shoulder replaced but will probably have to have both done eventually and I try hard to find shotguns that will keep the pain level tolerable tell I do.

I also shoot a lot of trap and like heavy trap guns for that. I use the Benelli for doubles and skeet sometimes but heavy single barreled trap guns are my preference for singles trap.
