I have an Encore pistol, with both 10" unported 44 mag and 14" ported 308 Winchester barrels. Shooting heavily loaded 300 grain bullets in the 44 and standard 50K loads with 165s in the ported 308, the recoil is very similar. I shoot a lot of heavy bullet big bore handguns, so am not very recoil sensitive, but because of the weight, neither of these have bad recoil. Not to compare with a Ruger single action shooting 345s at 1200 fps.
