fucked up and drunkenly bought pic related but in .454 Casull instead of .44 Magnum...how do I avoid wrist damage and blowing my entire wallet on a 50 round box

You can shoot .45 Colt out of it.
Shoot 45 colts.
I love the Casull, but not in something that small!
sell it to an actual man
>.454 Casull
Adorable.
Your new hobby is now reloading.
Id like to see you handle my M777
Suck it up you puss.
>and it only hurts for a day or 2.
OP's Alaskan has far worse recoil than the X-frame due to its much lower weight.
A guy in Alaska actually killed a charging grizzly with your pic. Granted the bear was starved, the guy fell backwards and only 1 shot landed on the bear, with another through his foot.
based
das pretty
.45 Colt can be handloaded up to .44 Magnum levels, it's a straightwalled case and projectiles are widely and cheaply available, so it would be fairly low cost and easy to do.
They call .45 colt the poor mans .45-70, it can be loaded crazy powerful, like medium .454 rounds, if you got a modern gun that is
You can load .45 colt just as powerful as 454 rounds. That's how 454 was developed, after all. The case is slightly longer as a safety feature so you can't accidentally put the much higher pressure .454 round in an old gun that can't handle it.
That said, uploading the .45 colt kinda misses the point here. If OP's goal is to avoid the crazy recoil of firing a .454 in a small revolver then he ought to not be trying to make hot 45 colt loads. Equaling the 44mag is not a bad idea, trying to go much beyond that is exactly what OP is trying to avoid.
As a side note, anyone ever notice just how easy it is to find these magnum snub revolvers cheap as fuck on Gunbroker? It seems there's an awful lot of people who buy them, shoot them once or twice, then sell 'em.
hell, it's not just gunbroker, it's LGS, armslist, gun shows.....
I bought pic related, 4 speedloaders, pelican case, and 3.5 boxes of gold dots for $700 shipped.
>It seems there's an awful lot of people who buy them, shoot them once or twice, then sell 'em.
Because they don't know how harsh the recoil can be on these things.
Like, an airweight .357 outright hurts to shoot, which nobody tells them when they buy it.
What a fugly gun
yes, user. that's the point.
I'm wondering why anyone would ever buy one new when the used market is flooded with them.
Ignorance, same ignorance that makes them not consider the harsh recoil that Magnum snubs can exhibit.
Is that really the same though? I can see a noob being unaware of just how bad the recoil can be shooting magnums in a lightweight gun. That I get.
But who buys something that costs several hundred bucks (or more!) without researching prices first? Do people really just drop money at LGS without shopping around first?
Yes, people will do exactly that.
Likewise, plenty of people will just sell something without knowing what they have (usually having inherited something and being ignorant, or it's something they feel they don't need/want and want to just get rid of), I know of at least a couple of dudes on here who scored themselves a barely used Desert Eagle in .44 Magnum, for like something ridiculously low like $400
