If you truely want to experience recoil in a pistol, give the Taurus (I know, I know) 450ti a test drive. Mine was a 2" barreled 45lc+p rated 5 shot revolver that weighed 19oz and with 360gr hard cast bullets was a joy to watch others shoot. Even with the lee factory crimp die, shooting 5 360's was not gonna happen....lit would pull the bullets on the last round or two. Absolutely evil little critter. I kept it for my mouth friends, but one day a guy offered a 16ga guild gun SxS and it left my hands.

Oh man....I've had my eye on the alaskan awhile myself.  I felt I needed the SR1911 a little more recently though. :chuckle:  I was told that Ruger stopped production on that chamber last year or so?

Used a S&W29 44 mag Lew Horton 2" for a number of years, as a sidearm to finish bears with. 2" barrel, 300 gr hardcast at close to 1400....still nowhere near what the 500 SW does loaded with heavy hardcast at top velocities! Dont let anyone tell you otherwise! :chuckle:

Huh?
:fire.:

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

I've had the same gun the OP bought for a little over 5 years now.  It's  a recoiler for sure especially with the 300gr buffalo bore loads.  Heavy gun for the hip, but not unmanageably heavy, usually carry it anytime I am bowhunting in Montana or North Idaho, or if bowhunting the extreme NE corner of WA.  Yep, most people won't shoot it once they've seen/hear/felt it go off.  But it's manageable and accurate for the ranges it needs to be.
I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
If I ageed with you, then we'd both be wrong.
You are never to old to learn something stupid.
