Taurus Judge 45 L/C .410 Short barrel. My brothers conceal carry gun. Kicks like a mule. I would also add the first time I shot my Mosin Nagant. I figured the recoil would be like a 30-06 NO not this Russian beast. Kicked backed and almost took my shoulder off.

Enjoy shooting my 29, but if I start shooting it too fast it will make me take a step backwards! I consider that just part of the fun. Gettin old and 44 is my stopping point! It was awhile back that one of the club members had bought a new PPK/s. Must say I wanted one since the very first "Bond" movie. I was delighted when he asked if I wanted to shoot it. Given that it is a "blowback" design that little gun recoils more than it should! Shooting it was not a pleasent experence. It was not a gun you would shoot as a "range toy". After 3-4 rounds I thanked him for allowing me to shoot it and gave it back. He offered the rest of the rounds in the mag, I respectfuly declined!!!

??? they all kick some or more... 44 mag revolver, 458 mag, .500 nitro, accidental both 12 ga. barrels at once,... The're supposed to kick aren't they? They don't really stand out so much to me. A 100 round burst from my old 20mm Vulcan rocked the boat some I guess. Getting kicked on the chin by a horse hurt some.

well it was a rifle not a pistol but it was a bolt action 7mm.
My dad shot a 50 bmg. I would not shoot that. Too much fun. It had so much muzzle blast it blew his wife's hair back. It was awesome!

When I was eight I shot a 30-6. Bad gun for an eight year old(I think it was my second time shooting).

My buddy's S&W .44 Mag. Kicks more than my .50 Desert Eagle. We took it to the range and fired his hand-loads. It was like a pumpkin came out of the end of the barrel. I love shooting at the range where everyone stops and looks, like in the movie Robocop lol

Cannon

Had the experience of shooting a friends Alaskan .454 casull...........I am not recoil sensitive, but that's a bit much....even he will only shoot 2 or three times, enough to get it dirty, then that's it.

I would have to say my .454 casull as well!! Mine has a 6" barrel and it kicks like a mule! I could not imagine shooting the casull with the short barrel, must be quite the experience!!

My first revolver: S&W m&p340 (with crimson trace)

Bought it for personal protection with a reason.

Bruised my hands every time I went to range with it and did not make for fun when practicing but then I didn't buy this for fun.

Sold it once I felt it was no longer necessary to have it and moved on to other guns, But I will never forget how that felt...ever.

My hardest kicker was my Ruger LCR shooting hot magnum loads. This was a real hand whacker.

Ruger .454 Casull, wow!!!! traded it off for S&W .460, shoots 3 different loads and the compensator and weight make a big difference in recoil. Much better.
