Personally, I thought he was nuts...
"What the heck do you want a .44 Mag snubbie for, man?"
"It would be a cool carry gun, man."
"It'll break your darn wrists!"
"Nah, it'll be allright."
I did not think he even had a chance of finding a 44Mag snubbie anyway, so we did not fret too much about his strange taste in hand cannons.
He found one. Someone had ordered a S&W model 629 and sent it to S&W to have a teeny 2" barrel fitted. This thing looked very odd indeed! Out went the checkbook, and, a few minutes later, we left the gun show with the new 44 Mag snubbie in tow, along with a box off 300 grain LRN loaded very hot.
Shooting this thing was, well, err, "interesting."
The first words out of the mouth of anyone who shot it was always the same:
"F**K!" <hint, rhymes with "duck">
We're talking wrist-snapping, fire-belching, target-destroying, seriously freaking loudness here! It took me barely six rounds to decide that I was glad this was not my pistol!
Anyone else have any amusing recoil-related stories to share?
