Like an Alaskan with a hardon.The super Redhawk looks like a handgun that popped wood.View attachment 502320
I had one and it shot great but boy did I hate the looks. Eventually sold it to get me a Dan Wesson 44 mag.The super Redhawk looks like a handgun that popped wood.View attachment 502320
I also have a 460V and have had the same experience with the recoil of 454s vs 460s. I read somewhere that most 460 ammo is optimized for the 8 3/8’ so has slightly slower burning powder then many 454s. In the shorter 5’ 460V the faster burning 454 powder can actually generate more felt recoil because the recoil is over a shorter period of time. Don’t know if it’s true, but it at least conforms to my experience.With the 460 you have the benefit of shooting 454s and 45 colts out of it. I have the 5" 460V and interestingly enough the recoil from 454s feels the same if not a bit more than 460s but that's just pure perception.

Last Taurus I had was a copy of a J frame (model 85 maybe) and another one that was a model 66? The barrel started spinning off on that one.
Same experience with recoil impulse 460 feeling softer than 454 Casull Honrady 300 gr XTP® Mag™. But the barrel on the 10" 454 was a little longer.I also have a 460V and have had the same experience with the recoil of 454s vs 460s.

I have one too. My favorite revolver. has an outstanding trigger, super accurate. I think most Taurus haters here have never shot one, and "heard it on the internet". Their semi autos are pieces of shit, but I never heard of Taurus Hand.Maybe I got lucky but I am pretty happy with my 6" Taurus 689 and it shoots just as well as my S&W 66 and Ruger Sp101 (Just my .02)
Good to know.
F*ck Taurus then.
Is anyone aware of other companies that make revolvers in 500 and 460?
I like to look around.
You are right. It was a moment of weakness.I mean they don't have a good reputation as a company why would you trust your hands to them when shooting such high pressure and powered rounds.
SS-DS/N?454 Casull sucks but if you told me I had to buy a revolver chambered in that I would get the big Ruger and set about polishing that turd. Also if Ruger gives you a bad revolver they will usually make it right. Taurus at best will just give you a different piece of s*** with a different serial number on it.
I mean that looks like he shot himself
SS-DS/N?

I just couldn't bring myself to post the really ugly hand woundI mean that looks like he shot himself
I'm sure you did lol. Ive seen 10 mm double charge photos from a glock that have done serious hand damage. If your talking something already 2 times as powerful and then being double charged in cheap metal. Well that person is now stumpyI just couldn't bring myself to post the really ugly hand wound
that is always claimed to be a Glock kaboom,
but members of the Glock-American Community
swear can't be traced back to any Glock accident.
(Saw quite a number of far worse stump photos
than that one, too).

Glock pistols have a reputation for being indestructible, but these Glocks obviously never got that memo. These fails will give you nightmares.www.wideopenspaces.com
