A Thompson Contender pistol with a 45-70 barrel on it.
That was painful. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: A Thompson Contender pistol with a 45-70 barrel on it. That was painful. Yeah, I bet! I've seen those, and have zero interest in those, though I suppose you could use / load some low power rounds with it, but why instead of just a .44 Mag barrel? |

S&W 340PD with a single .357 mag round is a real “welcome to Ouchville” event that will leave an impression in your memory (not to mention in your hand).

Quote HistoryQuoted: S&W 340PD with a single .357 mag round is a real “welcome to Ouchville” event that will leave an impression in your memory (not to mention in your hand). Yep, the worst handgun most have ever shot, even worse than the light weight 29 series in 44 mag. And for only ~8 ounces more you can get a 640 that you can fire without problems even with full .357 loads. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Ruger Blackhawk .30 Carbine is in first second and third place Distant 4th is 2.5" S&W M66 5th Rossi Coach Gun with slugs That's surprising - I figured based on muzzle energy and velocity a .30 Carbine would be like a .357 Mag. Lots more recoil? Flash and bang as maybe the round is designed to use a rifle length barrel to burn the powder up? |

Quote HistoryQuoted: .454 Casull Much more painful to shoot than a .500 mag. Now that's surprising too. A buddy of mine has a Ruger .454 with a 3 inch barrel or so, and it's a fun handful, with the recoil moving the barrel up to the sky. But not painful. While I saw someone shoot a .500 SW from the bench with the bipod, and from the blast and kick it looked horrible. |

My father in laws 7mm Remington Mag loaded with hot rounds that he uses for Elk hunting. He said here try this and tell me what you think (I didn’t know what caliber it was until after). He was standing back laughing at my expression after touching off the 1st round. Lightweight 700 w/o a brake…that felt like getting hit in the shoulder with a small sledgehammer

I shot a 475 Linebaugh with factory wood grips off a pistol perch at a 100 yard target. The Freedom Arms barrel was magnaported but my hand hurt for a couple weeks because the handgun recoiled straight back. I had to use my right hand to write reports which was very difficult. I’ve been bruised on my shoulder from shooting shotguns and high powered rifles (light 12 gauges, 458 Win Mag, 460 Weatherby, 375 H&H, 50 BMG, 37 mm tear gas cartridges). That was nothing compared to how I hurt my hand. I’ve shot 44 Mag, 454 Casull, 480 Ruger, 500 S&W, 45-70 (Century Man. revolver) and 50 AE but the 475 Linebaugh hurt the worst.

I've not heard good things about .475 Linebaugh. At some point, it's time to get a rifle instead of upping handgun power. .44 Mag is my limit, and even that only with a full size 629 or TC. Glad to see that others have issues with 7mm mag / .300 Win Mag and a Rem 700 style rifle. My buddy and I had to tag team sighting it in, with each taking 2-3 shots then passing it over. |

All the pistol lanes at the range will go eerily quiet after you touch off the 1st round out of one... Most unpleasant guns I've ever fired were an 1892 Berthier carbine with some 1948 vintage "Balle D" from Hotchkiss feed strips , and a pre-war Mauser sporter in 7x66 Vom Hofe .... both were light, with all the weight in the butt.... |

Ultra light weight 3” .44. Six rounds and my hand was numb. It was nothing like any .44 I’ve ever shot. Felt like it was almost nothing in my hand until I pulled the trigger. .S and W .500 with a 6” barrel. The guy who shot it right before me ripped his thumbnail off when he shot it. Wrong grip I guess. But wow what a hand cannon. Rifle should have to be an 03. An hour of that wears you out. Not sure how they did it during WW I

Most unpleasant was a tiny .38 special backup revolver. Snappy little f*cker that made a good firing grip nearly impossible.
My friend, who was a SFPD SWAT sniper at the time, carried it in some sort of deep cover contraption in the front of his pants. |

easy answer(s)
Biggest pain in my ass was the Kel Tec PF9. So many failures with that thing with all sorts of ammo Physical pain is my Savage 212 slug gun, using Remington Premier Accutip sabot slugs (I shoot 45-70 and 44 Magnum lever guns and there is no comparison to that slug gun!) |

Full size Kimber steel frame 1911 with a .460 Rowland Compensated Conversion kit on it. When I pulled the trigger on it the first time I was shocked at the recoil. After a few rounds I was unhappy with myself for wasting the money. After 200 rounds I had a strange little grin on my face.

The recoil action does nothing to help the kick, and its very lightweight. I tend to load it all the way up to add weight if I need to fire it - no single rounds with slugs or buck. |

Call me a sis but two rounds of 300 Win Mag out of my stepdad's deer rifle was enough for me. Can't remember the model. I politely decline when he offers to let me shoot it again.
44mag Deagle sucked to shoot. I dont have large hands and it simple felt too bulky and uncomfortable. The same round in a revolver is fine for me. NAA .22lr sucked to shoot. I know they have their place and all but damn it was 100% opposite of fun to shoot. I was expecting it to be a fun little plinker. I dont know what gave me that idea. |

That's the most powerful rifle I've shot - I'm curious if more powerful rifles like a .375 H&H or .458 Win are much worse, or if the slower bullet makes for a different recoil cycle than the sharp kick on the 7mm and 30 cal mags. |
