I don't mind him absorbing the recoil from his gun, as it's not something that damages him unless he holds his gun improperly. It's a natural byproduct of almost every firearm, really.

So no shooting himself in the foot to absorb the recoil froom the bullet, as he is purposefully hurting himself in that instance, but absorbing the kinetic energy from his gun which is not designed to hurt himself should be fine.
