worst recoil from a handgun ?

Ha! I shot a 500 S&W just the other day and it wasn't as bad as some 44 mags I've been around. I admit I'm not going to run right out and buy one but it is now on my long list. I think Smith is on to something here.
 
An Encore chambered in 500 A Square. Thank goodness it flew out of my hands and missed my head.

Second to that is a .454. The .500 Smith felt easier than the .454.
 
Biggest I shot was .44 mag in a Cowboy action revolver......

Holy Heck that little skinny grip felt like I was holding a wine glass then, BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Darn thing almost jumped outta my hand :eek: I don't see how those guys ever hit anything past spittin distance with that recoil :confused:, but man was it a hoot to shoot :D
 
Desert Eagle in .50 Action Express. Not debilitating, but really -really- impressive muzzle flip (being an auto).
 
I used to have a Contender barrel.....10" octagon in .444 Marlin. Very nasty to shoot and I finally traded it off. I guess you could compare it's power to the new S&W .460. I was firing 260 grain cast gas checked bullets at 2000 fps., but the gun only weighed half of what the S&W does.
