I don't find the recoil bad at all but recoil is certainly subjective, I shoot a 9mm Rohrbaugh and a 380 Seecamp and the Seecamp is the worst to me.
I have about 150 rounds through it with zero issues of any kind, I have fired Blazer Aluminum, 15 rounds of Wolf steel
(a one time thing, I don't like to shoot steel case ammo in anything but my Glock) Speere Gold Dots, WWB and Winchester Ranger. The ammo has been 115gr, 124gr and 147gr.
The 938 has been my EDC lately, I carry in a scabbard style OWB and it is agreat piece, 8rds of 9mm, with eight rounds it weighs 21.4oz.
