How do you like it? How often do you shoot it. How bad is the recoil?

I have a .357 and am itching to get a Super Black Hawk or a S&W.

It's fricking awesome. What is not to love about a big nickle plated .44 mag?

Rarely. It's expensive to shoot. We drag it out every now and again as a novelty.

All the way bad.

I have a Super Blackhawk and it's probably my favorite firearm. I shoot it about once a month. It depends on how you feel about recoil, it definitely lets you know you just unleashed some fury, but it's still not too bad IMO.

Love the 44 mag. The recoil is much more noticeable than when shooting a 357, but it's not close to a 454. So to answer your question: It's an excellent caliber with noticeable recoil, but it could be worse.

i have a couple of .41 mags...

have taken 8 deer with super redhawk

and 2 with my other one..

i am a pretty big guy with stout hands.. and a .41 is just a lot easier to shoot...

I have a Taurus .44. It was the first firearm I paid for with my own money. I plan on getting a nice .44 one of these days.
It's fun as hell to shoot and the recoil isn't as bad as you would think. I've shot it with one hand, no problem.
I shoot it every few weeks because, as mentioned already, ammo isn't that cheap.

I have 3 of various brands. I always did like recoil so I didn't mind the drawbacks of shooting them a lot, plus I reloaded and they are easy.
I'd rather shoot them 50 times than that 8mm Mag BDL 10 times.

You could shoot 44 special in it also. But what's the point.

Learn to handload and cast bullets, 40 bucks a box for the cheapest shite available is just mind boggling to me.
I absolutely love my Ruger Redhawk!
Goodluck on whatever you get!

I have a RedHawks with a 4 inch barrel. It's a beast! Not sure why I own it other than its a beast.

Ruger Super Blackhawk
.44 Mag
10-1/2" barrel
FTW

Passed down to me from my dad, my mom gave it to him on their second anniversary. It's a beast and fun as hell to shoot with it's 1.5lb hair trigger.

Shoot it often, recoil is not terrible. Love it!
