true! First time I ever fired a 45 1911 I thought the d@mn thing had blown up!
Yes.
357 twice.
First time it hurt bad and I said “why would you ever do that”
2nd time had a huge stray Great Dane going after my chickens and I shot twice in front of him to hopefully stop. Surprisingly, it didn’t hurt because I was more focused on stopping the dog.
Anyway, yes, a 357 or 44 sucks without ear protection. Worse then when I have had to shoot my 30-30 without ear protection.
Undeniable truth.
I deliberately did it because I wanted to know what it really sounded like. Having done it,I don’t intend to repeat the experiment.
And yes, I've been to Pinch, WV!
