George, The kick could be a combination of the muzzle jump, and what the sound does to the reaction of the shooter. That makes sense.

<<OK, it always jumps a little. But it's been my experience that any time I wear hear guards - ear protection - the perceived recoil is cut by orders of magnitude.>>

Recoil and flinch, two different things. That boolet is outta the gun in about 1/26,000 of a second. The flinch is when you yank the trigger. Ear protection does help. Wish I knew that 40 years ago so I wouldn't say WHAT? so often.
