Recoil in Titantium Tracker - 03/07/10
It hurts ! I had a dealer order a Tracker in 41 Mag as soon as I saw them advertised . I had a 41 BH and liked the cartridge . I liked the Tracker OK but it was too heavy for carry and hard to shoot accurately with the short sight radius .
I reasoned that one in titantium would make a good CC piece so I bought one and gave the SS one to a friend . The recoil with 240 gr. handloads is murder , even with a two hand hold .
I got some 170 gr Sierras and they are not as bad , but snap shooting at javalinas with one hand makes for a one shot affair with my hand being too numb for a follow up .
I shoot my 44 mag Bisley gripped BH with no issues , even with stout handloads .
Are there better grips made for the Tracker ? The ribbed ones that came on it look and feel great ------------ until the trigger is pulled !
