I've owned this gun for maybe 7 or 8 years and after the last range trip with that gun became to much, my arthritis made my hand hurt like never before that my wrist and palm has been jacked up for 3 or 4 days now.
I've always been a big caliber guy and I thinking not so much anymore, my advice to you young guys is don't get old it fucking sucks.
Can you load it to lower pressures that would ease the recoil some....?
I don't think lower pressures would adversely affect it since it's a wheel gun.

I think that may be the only way to keep this beast, granted I was shooting 430 gr. bear loads but this is the first time I ever thought a particular firearm might be too much for me.
Shooting gloves and or perhaps a wrist brace might help.

I think you should be able to find a downsized load comparable to a .41 magnum. That should tame it somewhat....

I’ll give you $100 for it. I’ll pay shipping too.
