When you are planning to buy a gun, does the recoil ever effect which gun you choose?
Although I'm a bit limited in mobility, I have always liked a gun that has a good oomph (recoil) to it. My most pronounced recoil guns are a .357mag, 4" barrel, my 1911 .45acp Kimber, and my pocket cannon, a .38spl + P S&W snubnose. My future gun will be a .44mag, 7.5" barrel.
I can't imagine why anyone would want a gun like the EEA Witness Gold that has a 12 hole ported barrel with a 2 chamber compensator in the barrel, where's the fun in that?
My first job I had as a young man was at the local rifle range. The owner had a strange sense of humor, making all the 'new guys' shoot his rifle on the 100 yard range. I knew something bad was about to happen as I held the rifle, because the shells were so damn long. I shot the rifle, and as I remember, missed the target. My shoulder felt like a mule hit me. I found out afterward that it was a .458 Winchester Magnum. About tore my shoulder off!
Any how, I do like a nice recoil. Maybe it's the sense of power felt. Anyone else feel the same way?
