Well I took the little beast out for a go last Friday. I was shooting 180g bullets ahead of 11g of Accurate #2. Actually recoil was not bad. After all a .44 mag is a .44 mag so I would not expect much recoil. I did get a blister on my thumb under my shooting glove but that was mostly my fault. I was shooting it single action and the grip would rotate in my hand after I would cock the hammer and I failed to bring the grip back into the webbing between my thumb and index finger. I only had 50 rounds with me. I am anxious to give it another go next Friday. I will try 240g Noslers next. I did have a hard time extracting spent cases so I loaded this next batch down a bit. I had to hammer the cylinder extracting rod with my stapler to clear the cylinder. I was shooting at an indoor range at 25 yards. After my first two cylinders I looked back over my shoulder and there was fellow standing behind me. He told me that he was observing the action from three lanes over and he said that flames were shooting a foot ahead of the muzzle. He asked if he could watch me shoot another cylinder full. I obliged him with another fireworks display.
