Not really, the weight of the gun, and the operating system, helps reduce the “felt recoil”. The TC shown there probably has the most recoil, since its usually chambered for a rifle round. The TC (Thompson Contender) and the Ruger super blackhawk are probably the most often used hunting handgun. The Ruger chambered in the 41 mag was a extremely accurate round, but most people hunt with the 44 mag. A .50 tears up too much meat. The TC in 3030 cal would be a nice option, but felt recoil may be greater than the 44, depending on you bullet weight and charge.

Here in the South some people hog hunt with dogs and use handguns up close so they don’t hit the dogs but most carry .44 magnums.

Nobody around here hunts deer with a handgun. Although we could as deer walk past our deck a couple times per day. :-)
