Nice. I did shoot a .44 magnum - 6 inch I think it was.

Now once on that was enough for me.

For pistols I prefer 9mm and .45. But I have no doubt what a .357 or a .44 is capable of. Couldn’t hit much with my .45 but my state trooper friend was incredible with it.

I’ve got a Ruger .45 Blackhawk that shoots Colt and I had some hot defense loads, and I took to wearing a weightlifting glove to fire it.
Odd as it seems, my little Springfield XDS .45 seems mild. Must be because it’s ACP and a lot is going out the barrel, like a 18.5” shotgun barrel.
This lefttard is a snowflake. 223/5.56 recoil, straight bore axis, it’s nothing. He should be embarrassed. He looks like a flake.

I like my 6” .357mag for occasional range time, and that .44mag’s a real handful. I daily carry a 5” 1911 .45cal ACP. Good enough for what I need.

I was given some ammo by a friend leaving the state which included some 3 1/2 inch magnum 12 guage shells. I will never fire another one in my life.

It was super unpleasant. Very loud and a very hard kick. I was not entertained in the least.
