I finally got to shoot my new (to me) 29-2 , 44mag today!
I had never shot a 44 before today and was expecting a really bad recoil from some of what I have read here and other places. I was pleasantly suprised by how shootable the gun was. It's a 6" barreled model and is quite heavy which might have helped in that dept. I went through a whole box of shells with no difficulties at all. This gun sure is accurate.
I guess I'll finally have to get into reloading as I'm going to want to shoot it more and it's just too expensive to keep buying ammo.
How harsh is the recoil on the lighter versions of the 44 mag.? Is it a lot worse then mine? I'd really like to have a shorter barreled version .--Oneshot
