Hi, new to the forum....
I want some opinions as to the recoil of .45 Colt loads, particularly hotter loads. I'm considering the purchase of a Ruger Bisley (Blackhawk) 7.5 inch barrel in .45 Colt, but need to know whether the recoil is something I'll be comfortable with. I plan on using the firearm for hunting, but I also want to be able to enjoy it at the range. For some background, I recently fired a 4 inch S&W model 29 and concluded my session after about 10 rounds. I was firing cheapo Federal 240 grain ball, which I found a bit too harsh. I didn't enjoy it. I'm otherwise very comfortable with hot .357 loads out of a steel frame Ruger SP101 with Hogue grips.
Knowing that I'm somewhat .44 mag "sensitive", do you think I'll also find the hotter .45 Colt loads too much for my enjoyment? Or will I be okay with 50 rounds at the range? Keep in mind that these load will be fired exclusively from a heavy Ruger single with Bisley grip. Thanks!
