I borrowed a 8 inch 44 mag barrel for my G2 to see if i wanted a shorter barrel that the super 14 i have. i shot winchester 240gr jacketed soft nose off hand. As far as recoil goes how does this compare. use a 1-10 scale or what ever. The recoil was lighter than i expected as was able to shoot15-20 rounds in a row at 21 yards. My weak had is more sore from getting tapped from the trigger guard than my strong hand is.

Thanks
Damon.
