Willard just got a Ruger Vaquero in .44 Magnum and invited me to pop off a few.
Surprisingly pleasant even with the "hunting" loads that came with the sale of the gun.
Where the gun becomes downright placid and fun was with the .44 Special rounds that also came with the gun.
It reminds me that I've been half wanting a Schofield for a while now... But a Vaquero in .45 Colt will suffice (and is cheaper and more readily available).
He also dug out his Taurus 441 in .44 Special. It's a very large double action gun for just five rounds, and is oddly much less pleasant to fire than the Ruger was with Magnum rounds.
Grip shape is the culprit. There's an almost hollow where the web of my hand hits the frame at the top of the stocks on the Taurus, and that lets the gun slap my hand there. Irksome and my web is now sore.
