Hello All,
I've been wanting to buy a handgun that has a ridiculous amount of recoil. The type of gun that i'd basically only shoot a few rounds out of every trip to the range.
I recently rented a S&W .460 with an 8 3/8" barrel. I was underwhelmed by it, I was able to shoot it one handed no problem, and felt that i might even be able to shoot it with my off hand (but didn't try).
I live in California so my options are limited, how big of a difference do you guys think the 5" barrel 460 would make, it is almost 12oz lighter?
I have also looked into the Magnum Research BFR in 45-70, does anyone have experience with? Would it kick more than a 460? The 45-70 casing is a lot longer, but i'm not sure if a comparison would be that easy being that it is a rifle round.
I have also been hearing about the Thompson Center-fire Encore in 30-06. Does anyone have experience with the 30-06 pistol 15" barrel, how is the kick?
Also if there are any other firearms that I haven't come across let me know. I'm not really looking into the 500 S&W as i don't think it would kick much more than a 460, and the 460 can shoot 45lc which would be nice.
Thanks!
