Seeing as this is a handgun thread I will say the worse recoil I have ever experienced was a 405gr factory 45/70 out of a American Derringer Model 4...fired just one round and quit.

Painfully. In reality, you really need a bull barrel for weight. Mine is a tapered and with all that hole the gun weighs nothing. I've also noticed that a lot of people are firing 405 gr factory loads, which are very pleasant even in my gun; I've fired far harder recoiling .44 magnum rounds. After all, velocities are kept down for trapdoor Springfields. OTOH, the 300 gr loads from Winchester and Remington are severely punishing in my gun, even though it has been Magnaported; don't know how they would fare in a bull-barreled gun, but I doubt they're much more pleasant.Dunno how guys shoot those .45-70 Contenders.
454 handgunWhat amount of recoil can you tolerate on a regular basis from a handgun?
My limit is the full bore 44 Mag. loads out of a Ruger Redhawk with Pachmayr grips. These loads are to much fun for my 4 inch S&W 629!!! I have no need to move any higher on the power scale as I don':t think I'd like it!!!
my guns a .357mag, .40S&W, and .45ACP.
have no problem what so ever shooting them all then whole day. if i get a chance to shoot a .44mag, .50, etc i would love to.
heck every time i go to the range i put atleast 300rnds through my mosin whithout issue.
