I've really been eyeing the S&W Model 629 lately. I want to get it with the full barrel underlug, 6.5" barrel.
I already own a Taurus Raging Bull in the same .44 Mag caliber and same lenght, etc.
Now I know for a fact from reading reviews, etc, that out of the "big three" .44 Magnums (629, Raging Bull, and Super Redhawk), the Taurus has the softest recoil.
To be quite frank, I have zero problems whatsoever shooting 240gr .44 Mags all day out of my Bull.
But I'm concerned if I can handle the 629. Anyone shot both and can give me an honest opinion? I know felt recoil is stiffer on 629, but HOW much stiffer? Is it enough of a difference that someone who has no problems at all shooting the Raging Bull even one handed will have problems and flinching with the 629?
Thanks for any help or advice.... the 629 is pretty damn expensive so I want to be sure before taking the plunge.
Thanks
