Yesterday I tried out my new gun -- a Glock 26 that we named Miss Anne Thrope. This baby going to be my everyday carry weapon and I really love her. Shooting her is a blast! Got off 100 rounds and would've shot more if my time and budget would allow it. 
At the same time, our buddy Don was trying out his new Super Redhawk .44 magnum with a scope. He offered to let me have a go at it.
WOW!! The shock wave produced by firing that thing is something else. It's a fine piece of equipment and beautifully accurate (when he's firing it, anyway -- I'm still new at this).
We shot magnums and russians out of his Redhawk. The russian round is certainly a lot quieter and (for me) more controllable, but boy oh boy! was the magnum round fun.
