Went to the range this past Sunday and shot the new, to me, Model 57 in .41 magnum and my friend's Colt Anaconda in .44 magnum. I didn't feel that there was much difference in felt recoil between the two. The two guns are similar in weight, or at least they felt that way with the old gun in each hand bob up and down measurment method. The first cylinder full of .41 magnum kicked a bit until I remembered Chris's video and let my arms ride up with the recoil. We shot both 300 grain cast core's and 240 grain soft points through the .44 with no problems. We put Gold dots and Platinum tips through the .41, don't remember the bullet weights, but the Gold Dots were quite hot. All in all a fun couple of hours and I will definitely be getting the .44 magnum.
