My first shot with my new revolver purchased from @Truegrit4311.
Nowhere near the super-hyped recoil I imagined I would feel. I put everything from the 350 grain Hornady to the 700 grain Underwoods through it today, including my HOT handload 500 gr. and I am thoroughly impressed.
I wish there were not so many negative connotations attached to this gun.
I recently sold my .44 mag Super Blackhawk with Hogue rubber grips and the rest of my 340 grain +P+ ammo. This round and gun combination would punish wrists and elbows alike, to the point where I would be unable to move my arms the day after a range day as a 20-something year old.
Not so with the .500 magnum. Over 20 rounds down range, and I know I shot a powerful weapon, but it doesn't hurt. I think this is mainly due to the gun pushing back almost nearly horizontally into your hand.
I'm no expert, but I would carry this comfortably for bears over a .44 or 460 any day of the week. (Hopefully I am always wearing 2 forms of earpro as it is LOUD)
