Blueridge Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 When I looked at the video of you shooting it didn't appear the recoil was too bad. I guess that was probably due to you holding the pistol very tight. I have a 7 1/2" SRH .454 Casull and wouldn't even want to think of the recoil on an Alaskan using a .454 cartridge. Recoil isn't that bad with the 7 1/2 barrel due to the overall weight of the pistol. I have fired both 260gr SJSF and 225gr SCHP Magtech .454 Casull loads from the Alskan in practice, and while the recoil was stiff it was manageable with practice. I actually have a 7 1/2" barrel Super Redhawk, but have not found the time to try it out. By comparison the .45 Colt loads are not that strong, but they do get people's attention.
