There’s always some idiot that thinks giving his wife/gf a hard recoiling gun is funny. The 500’s can double it not really held hard, actually “bump firing” because it moves back enough in the hand to reset the trigger.
I haven’t shot anything bigger than a .44 Mag in sometime, did some nerve damage to my hands in my “laugh at recoil” days.
Big fan of the .38 Super, almost .357 (125 grain) performance with 9mm recoil and 9+1 magazines. Plus it doesn’t bark like the .357 Sig.
“Bump firing” was actually the case with that woman. To me honest, it could probably happen to me. I shoot 9mm and 45 APC for pistols mostly. I also reload, so my loads are on the slow side for accuracy purposes ... Not much recoil. One the rifle end of things, it is the complete opposite. I like to be able to reach out and touch someone. I want to get into 1000 yard and sniper competitions next year. Hopefully for Christmas, Santa will bring me the parts to build a M24 of the .300 Win Mag variety.
