Bought a .44 Magnum a week ago, picked it up on Friday, and went shooting this weekend. Its definitely a *blast* to shoot (har har, pardon the pun), and the recoil is much less than what I expected - very slight with .44 special ammo, and a little more noticeable with the actual magnum rounds.
Sorry for the bad quality...this was taken with my phone:
And this isnt my EXACT gun...but pretty close:
Here's an idea of how big the bullets are...almost as big as .50 A.E.:
And for those that want to give me a lecture on gun safety, or why guns are stupid - not really interested, but thanks anyway
