[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 1093150, member: 25383"] I shoot the .450, and I would not consider it in a hand gun. It's a beast in a rifle, let alone a hand gun. Probably best with an 18' or longer barrel (21" being about right, but a 24" would be perfect). I've first used it with the 350 grain bullet, and a heavy load of 2230. Now trying to get a 400 grain Speer to shoot in it. Nothing wrong with the bullet, but with standing the recoil is the problem. You might make it work with a 16" or 17" barrel. Expect a good dose of carpel tunnel. gary [/QUOTE]
