Dan1045 Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 Mine was a .50 caliber out of an IMI Desert Eagle.Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-MAN Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 I had a Ruger Super Blackhawk .44 Mag. That's the biggest handgun I've ever shot. Thing kicked like a mule. Only way I could shoot it with relative comfort was to put oversize Pachmayr grips on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan1045 Posted December 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 The Desert Eagle hardly kicked. It was so heavy I could barely hold it up and its sheer mass damped the recoil. My Officer's ACP colt is tougher to shoot.I really would love to shoot a .475 Widley though. Like Charlie did.Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 .45 auto and .44 magnum for me. The .44 mag was pretty impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-MAN Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 .45 auto and .44 magnum for me. The .44 mag was pretty impressive. Yeah, I guess if we're going strictly by caliber, the "biggest" handgun I've ever shot is my .45 auto. The most "powerful" handgun I've ever shot was my .44 Magnum.

Arkie_Lefty Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 My Colt Anaconda(44 Mag). Pretty easy going till you load up some hot 300gr.! Not in any hurry to shoot any of the 455,500,etcs. Nothing to prove, and pretty pain shy if I have a choice.Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wwillson Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 Ruger Super Redhawk .44 Magnum - shot a friend's at the range. He had both 240grain loads at about 800fps, which were really nice to shoot. Then came out the 300g factory loads - not fun to shoot, but didn't kick like all the horror stories you hear.Wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RLH70 Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 I did have a 500 S&W,but traded it for an AR-15, I still have my 454 Casull and shoot it quite a bit. The recoil is really not that bad even shooting 360gr hardcasts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moe Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 500 S&W. What a beast! 1 shot was enough. This thing had a compensated 4" barrel and it was LOUD! Never again. I enjoy my hands too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLH70 Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 I made the stupid mistake of shooting my ported 454 with no ear protection once, cost me some permanent hearing loss in my left ear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only way I could shoot it with relative comfort was to put oversize Pachmayr grips on it. Try the 44 mag in a double action the recoil seems half . and in a desert Eagle even less. The recoil in a Blackhawk is nasty I owned one for a month in the early 1980s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 I've shot .44 mag out of a Desert Eagle. Just like Dan1045 mentioned, the gun is so heavy there is not much recoil.A friend just got a .454 casull I'll have to try out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
