I had a 6 inch almost 30 years ago,As fine a revolver as I have ever held. I dont remember if I was using the 240 grain or the 260 grain factory loads but whatever they were hell on wheels as far as recoil.
When I would shoot it I had to wear a pair of jersey gloves as if I didnt I would get 2 little almost paper cuts in the web of my hand from the Frame.
Did not take me long to figure out 44 magnum recoil was more to my liking,whether using a 6.5 inch S&W with factory 240 gr hollowpoints or a 4/58 Ruger Blackhawk using A LBT WFN 300gr bullet I cast from water dropped wheelweights with 21gr of 296.
