Gonna change your user name to add retired?
Retired from the #1 maybe. I have other 45cal rifles to shoot. MinMag refers to the 458x1.8's that I made for Southern Michigan Deer hunting.
Good point on the factory Ruger "recoil pads" Phil. The original red pad I removed from my .458(converted to 450#2) had a Goodyear logo on the underside, I [bleep] you not! It was about as soft as a tire! I fitted quality pads to all of mine.

Goodyear, eh? That's funny. Maybe a new recoil pad is in that gun's future.
OK, back to the original question. I shot a buddies Encore pistol in 50 Alaskan ... once. I didn't care to pull the trigger a second time. My hand was a little too small for his custom grip and I was worried that I would lose hold of it. It was a boomer, for sure.
