I'm considering the 8 3/8" ported barrel of a 629 but wanted some real world advice on recoil. Before I bought my 629 6" in 44 mag two years ago, I was worried about recoil as I had only shot 40 S&W, 9mm, 38 and there were tons of horror stories on the net -- hammer hitting someone's forehead, gun flying out of their hands, etc. Well, I bought the 44 and shoot full loads with absolutely no problem -- all of the hype was exactly that -- hype. I can easily shoot a box of 50 that I reload w/ max H110 or W296 and 270gr lead. So, I guess what I'm asking is whether the 460 recoil with hunting loads is really THAT bad or is it just something you have to get used to.
Side note: I know there are 45 and 454 cassull loads for 460 but I'm not really interested in those.
