My son's Ruger 454 Casull is Punishing on my old Arthritic hand................... Still Love to shoot it1

A friend has a Smith .500 magnum with a snub barrel. It is compensated but still no fun to shoot he also has a smith .357 snub scandium which was extremely unpleasant to shoot. Another friend has an magnum research BFR in 45-70 which wasn't bad to shoot.

I am not recoil sensitive,but the scandium framed Smith and Wesson .44 magnum I sold to my friend Bob was a pain with full power loads.

VP-70z - didn't think it was much fun. I'd be okay if I never shot a Glock again, too - I don't really have anything against them, just have gotten to where I'm willing to say that I find their feel and trigger feel aesthetically displeasing, despite their inarguable utility.

For me, two I'd never want to shoot again are:

Interarms Virginia Dragoon .44 magnum - a single action .44 mag. The recoil was ridiculous and the shape of the grip made it roll upward with every shot. It was truly terrible. The only good thing I can say about it was that I paid $300 for it and 750 rounds of .44 mag. It was the steal of a century. I found an Astra .44 Mag copy of the S&W Model 29 with a 6" barrel for cheap and quickly sold off the Dragoon. I've never looked back.

S&W .38spl Bodyguard - In premise, it was really cool. A polymer framed, DAO, .38 with a built in laser sight. It weighed almost nothing. The problem is that the lack of weight and the heavy DAO trigger was just something I could never get used. I couldn't hit jack squat with it (and the recoil wasn't that pleasant either, even with low recoil .38s, but that was to be expected). So, I sold it off as well. I've got a steel Taurus 85 with an exposed hammer and that thing is a ton of fun at the range.
