Never giggled shooting. An expression of WOW this is AWESOME! I have had.
If you say so...It says right on the box "Super Blackhawk."
Someone a few booths down from me at an indoor range started shooting .50AE, he literally rocked the range. And me...My 44 mag, no, 50 AE, that'll put a smile on ya lol
That's some serious power right there.
I despise indoor shooting!! LolSomeone a few booths down from me at an indoor range started shooting .50AE, he literally rocked the range. And me...
He shoot an entire box and left the brass on the floor. I picked one up, dwarfed a .45acp case.
The big DA's are significantly stronger guns. Larger cylinders with offset notches and more positive lockup. The five-shot guns are built to near zero tolerances with a blocked action so they don't shoot themselves apart. That's why there's "Redhawk only" loads in .44Mag and .45Colt that are 50,000psi. I shoot heavy loads out of the SRH that re only shared with the Bisley that has an oversized six-shot cylinder, built like a five-shot.He misread the label which isn’t a hard thing to do, I also did a double take and realized it was a Super Redhawk and not the Super Blackhawk. Doesn’t make much sense to me though since it is the SBH frames that are sent to the big bore guys for customized work….475/500 Linebaugh etc.
I don't know that I would be laughing, but am pretty sure I wouldn't be looking to take a second shot. I reload, so my 44 Mag SBH Bisley gets a load I like to shoot. I have NO motivation to see how hot a load I can shoot or what velocity contest I might win.I just chrono’d 10 of these at an average of 1425 fps through my 5.5” Ruger SBH and yeh, I giggled like an idiot….. And yes, I know the SBH isn’t listed as one of their safe to shoot through revolvers but I did, it’s done and those are the last of those things that will go through any of my revolvers.

I do get some pleasure every time I squeeze the trigger on my 7.5" SBH (I actually like heavy recoil in non-EDC handguns) but only two firearms ever made me actually giggle.
One time at the range a fellow two lanes over was squeezing off bursts from his M11/9. When we talked to him, he asked "do you want to try it?" I can tell you if someone ever asks if you want to try their machine gun the answer is always "YES!" He let me, my daughter, my son, and my daughter-in-law each fire a full mag through it.
The other time I was at an indoor range and every time the guy in the far right lane squeezed his trigger it sounded like someone had lobbed a hand grenade downrange and I felt a shock wave tap my right cheek. He was firing a S&W 460 XVR. Firing that beast gave me a good giggle and a huge smile.
