My 12 ga 870 mag used to beat me up a bit with 3 in loads, and an old Parker Hale in 7 Rem mag was a bit sharp on the shoulder.

But sharp recoiling handguns are the ones which bust my threshold of pain.

Taurus Tracker Titanium in 41 mag is a sweetheart with 170's at 750 fps. 210's or 250's pushing 1400 fps hurt. But I had to try them.

Actually a Glock in any cartridge including 9mm feels like a ball peen hammer slamming right into my arthritic base thumb joint.

People who choose to brew up their own storms bitch loudest about the rain.
