Can't Answer
Ditto. I can't answer the question with the limited information given. Too many variables. And recoil is a subjective thing. How you react to it mentally and physically matters so much more than just the mathematical calculation of how many foot-pounds of pressure is transferred to your hands and arms.
I have shot a 6" revolver, .44 magnum, N-frame, with full power loads, and it was not bad. It was SLOW to shoot because the gun came up so high and twisted in my grip so much, but it was not uncomfortable. Ditto for the S&W .500 magnum. On the other hand, the little J-frame .357 snubbies with the 11-ounce alloy frames just STING the heck out of my hand, and I would be afraid of nerve damage if I fired a bunch of those with full-power magnum loads.
