In this paper recoil-ion production cross sections are presented differential in recoil-ion longitudinal momentum and electron emission angle in ionization of atomic and molecular hydrogen by bare ion projectiles. A new formulation for constructing these double differential distributions from the measured electron double differential cross sections is used. A novel feature is the separation of two different branches of the recoil-ion longitudinal momentum distribution corresponding to soft and hard collision mechanisms of ionization. The single differential distributions have also been derived. {copyright} {ital 1996 The American Physical Society.}
