Hi Epow

The only "Big" handgun I had was a T/C Contender, Super 14, in 35 Remington. I would shoot between 40 to 60 rounds of .35 Remington per session. Offhand, no rests, what can I say, I was young and stupid. Before anyone beats me to it...as opposed to older and stupid. :-)

Would you or anyone else know how the recoil would compare between the two?

If it's more than the Contender/.35 Rem combo, then no thanks.

Best Regards

Sergio

Your 3-3/4lb 14" Contender chambered in .35 Rem firing a 200 grain bullet at an estimated 1750-1800 fps would produce approximately 20-22 ft lbs of free recoil. That figure could vary somewhat depending on actual muzzle velocity. A pretty hard kicker, but not in the same class as the big .50.
