Okay, I just bought my first 44 mag. (S&W, 6", Model 29, with target sights, unfluted cylinder), and I've never fired this calibre before. I've heard really bad stories about the recoil, but then it is such a popular round. So, is it really that brutal? How does it compare to full house 357 loads?

I will find out for myself shortly, but it will be at least a week before I get a chance to fire it. I'm really curious and I'd like to hear from people who have experience with this caliber.

(Recommend loads too?)

Thanks in advance.
 
This belongs in handguns, I'll move it there and lock it here
