Loved them since my grandfather took me out first gun I recall shooting. A 22lr 1969 colt buntline scout that I shot regularly until a few months back. Didn't notice the squib load in the barrel fired the 6th round barrel split into the frame.
Same. Grandpa taught me to shoot with his 4 5/8" .357 Blackhawk.
It's honestly not as bad as you would think you have to shoot it to feel it it's a good fast push it just rises up. keep a good grip and don't stiff arm it or try to push it down you're fine. I have only had one close call out of 70 ish rounds it nearly hit my head got way to comfy with it one very hot summer day.... I've got plans next year for a 475 or 500 linebaugh BFR though.
When i get around to reloading this i'll attempt a few 405 grain+ hot loads and see how I stand up there. should be able to get by with 45-70 dies in a revolver. until I can get a full set of .450 marlin resizing dies.
When I have spare ammo I pass the BFR around. And it hurts your wallet but emptying a cylinder as fast as you can. You have to try it puts a smile on my face with every shot.
