I have two .454s, one is a Ruger SRH 7.5" barrel and the other is the snubbie Alaskan..
The SRH is stout but manageable and not uncomfortable..
The Alaskan, when you touch it off, hurts - pure and simple.. That one is a true handful and not for the meek, or recoil sensitive shooter.. A set of PAST gloves is nearly mandatory for that beast..
