It certainly is a massive handgun. Except for the weight, it feels in hand like a Luger because of the grip shape and angle. The action cycle accelerator is also rather unique.
I haven't shot it (and probably won't) but would expect that the mass of the gun makes for a fairly soft recoil...
They never went into mass production, but Mauser was toying with some direct blowback 9mm guns that probably were close to this gun's mass.
