Holy crap. Where's the cushion on top of the scope to protect your forehead when that thing kicks!?!?!?!?

You shoot the single action revolvers like the BFR in 45-70 with ONE hand. The revolver rolls up and over your shoulder. Hold it with two hands and it may well smack you on the forehead. The Ruger Super Redhawk and S&W X frame revolvers are two-handed, double action affairs. The bore is significantly closer to the grip and delivers the recoil straight back into your shoulders. The muzzle breaks help reduce the muzzle flip from the recoil.
