I've had this revolver's identical twin since I turned 21.

I've never had any complaints with mine. Junk ammo, good ammo, .44 specials, hot reloads.

I do have a couple of observations from the video. The recoil seems just a bit exaggerated. The shooter needs to be in complete control. The .44 isn't wimpy, but it's not something that should be throwing itself back toward the shooter like it is here. Handle it like you're in charge of it, not the other way around. I also think I saw a hint of a flinch. Here's an experiment: Shoot a couple full cylinders, then leave two random chambers empty. It'll be pretty obvious when the hammer falls on an empty chamber whether or not the shooter is flinching.
