17 ounce 357? I can't even imagine. The 44 Mag is plenty of a handful in a Blackhawk for me. Does it kick straight back or does it roll up at the muzzle like a single action?
Yep, a Holy Hand Grenade or Wee Little Nukeling! Kills in the front and maims to the rear? Gotta respect a guy that can keep it on the target more than once around the Cylinder!
