Little Bow Man 1, the 45 A.C.P. is bigger than the 38 special. The biggest handgun caliber I have shot is the 500 S&W. Hold on to your cannon!

45ACP is quite a bit bigger.... I've shot a 44mag, which has more powder in it than the 45acp, meaning its bigger, but I've shot a 45acp and 40rem too

I hear the 454casull is actually harsher to shoot than the 500. Anyone know about this?

Soilarch, the 500 S&W has more recoil than a 454 Casull. A 454 Casull will send a 300 grain bullet at 1,625 fps in a 7.5" barrel. The 500 S&W will send a 400 grain bullet at 1800 fps in a barrel length of 10".

Well I knew it defied logic, but that's what I had heard, and that why I was asking.

I shot a .50 cal Desert Eagle, it rares up a good bit but the gun is so heavy that the kick in minimal.
