A hydraulic recoil device for a handgun or pistol is provided. The device includes a cylinder defining an interior hollow compartment having a first end and a second end. The device further includes a first resilient member; a piston assembly arranged adjacent to the first resilient member and at least partially within the cylinder, where the piston assembly includes a piston head, a piston rod, and a piston cap; a compressible accumulator arranged within the cylinder; and a second resilient member outside of the cylinder. When the piston rod is displaced toward the first end of the cylinder in operation, a hydraulic resistance is generated by the piston assembly, and when a first end of the second resilient member is displaced toward the second end of the cylinder in operation, additional resistance is generated by the second resilient member.

Embodiments of the present invention provide significant firearm recoil force reduction and can be integrated within a traditional firearm stock. Such recoil shock absorbers include a body assembly, plunger assembly, and return spring. The body assembly includes a shock tube, cylinder end, and accumulator. The shock tube includes an opening at its distal end, the cylinder end is rotatably coupled to the shock tube, and the accumulator is coupled to the cylinder end. The cylinder end can be selectably/adjustably aligned with the shock tube opening, resulting in a selectable/adjustable orifice and a pathway from the shock tube to the accumulator. The plunger assembly is slidably coupled to the body assembly and includes a piston. The piston and the shock tube are in slideable relation such that when the plunger assembly is introduced into the body assembly the piston is introduced into the shock tube.
