Shot a .454 Casull.

[JAB]

I have only fired a .454 Casull once, also from a handgun, and remember it being not bad, at all.  Of course, the handgun I fired it from was a Thompson Encore with the .454 barrel in place.  I imagine that shooting the same from a lightweight, snubbie revolver would be an entirely different (and not entirely pleasant) experience.

 

The same fellah who had the Encore (a member of another forum to which I belong - several of us from that forum got together to shoot a couple of years back) also had a snubbie S&W in .44 Magnum.  He let me run a cylinder full through it with his small, carry grips and I remember that bashing my hand much worse than the .454.

I want one... but not that badly. :stunned:

Me too. I'd love to have a .460 and a .500 but not for what he is asking. But then again, it is a full custom rifle, not really much worse than a $3-4k Wilson or Nighthawk.

I did some research a little while back, and as far as I could find that is the only company that makes a lever gun in .460 or .500. Next closest thing is a puma in .454 or a WWG .50alaskan Edited March 30, 2015 by nightrunner
