Single actions bust my knuckle

[megasupermagnum]

All I'm saying is if you can't shoot without hitting yourself in the head, or worse, pointing it at others, then you need to find another way.

Better than me for sure, but I sure wouldn't want to see something like that on a shooting range. Get two hands on it.

Looks like to me he was in control. John Linebaugh has forgotten more than most of us will ever know.

[LAH]

Understand the concern but John wasn't on a range.

[Don Purcell]

Huh? It's a SINGLE action not a semi auto.

Exactly! I would have NO problem shooting with John Linebaugh with ANYTHING.

Yep. Wouldn't it be great just to know what he's forgotten? Or spend an afternoon at the range with him? You can bet he knows exactly what's behind him when he shoots, and that revolver was never out of control.

Pointing the barrel straight behind you is handling the recoil well? So much for muzzle control.

Want to be sure I haven't offended our friend from Minnesota. If I was at a range with that kind of thing going on I would most likely leave especially if I didn't know the guy doing the shooting. So your point isn't lost on me.

Hers my 2.5” 329NG 44 mag. If you want to bust knuckles stop by and give it a try.

I played the video in slow motion. The barrel went to maybe a 45 degree angle pointed behind him. Unless someone was 7 to 8 feet tall standing very close behind him there would be no danger. I ve been around alot of the people that screams about things like this and they turned out to be the most careless of the bunch. The squeaky wheel syndrome.

I've been watching that video every so often for several years. It is how I learned to handle the recoil from my Linebaugh .475 L. I only shoot it when I am alone at the range. Easier for me since I'm retired. If someone shows up while I'm there, I pack up the .475 and get out a .45 Colt or .45 ACP.

BTW, When I shot the .475 before I watched the video, I never buried the front sight in my forehead.

I've shot some horrible recoiling handguns and have never had recoil bury the front sight in my head even before we had a computer to watch videos on.

I only posted that because I didn't want to be criticized for shooting a single action with only one hand. BTW, a 5 shot .45 Colt has quite a bit of recoil too if loaded to its potential.

When first bought my mark19 desert eagle 50 ae it would literally recoil to point about 3 o‘clock pointing in back of me over my shoulder before I knew I had to really hold onto it. I got rid of that expensive brushed chrome paperweight with its 44 mag and 50 ae barrels 20 years ago and bought a quad runner with the proceeds. Was had to justify the $2500 investment (with leupold gilmore dot sights on both barrels)when my $499 NIB 44 mag anaconda shot circles around it...still have that one.

I will occasionally shoot a single action one handed. Why not? I have been shooting one hand quite a bit lately. One should be able to shoot one handed or two handed if one wants too.

These days it seems like I shoot all handguns better with just my dominant hand. 45 years of ingrained Weaver/Cooper two handed shooting is tough to fight against; but here I am.

I was a member of a pistol club in Macomb Il for a short time. We shot some target matches(slow, timed, and rapid fire). I once took a 44 mag Blackhawk and shot it during the match. It was all one handed.
I almost didn't have time to finish the rapid fire sequence. It took time to pull the gun back down after firing full power loads.
Back then, my hands and fingers were much smaller and didn't have arthritis. Now, it would be impossible for me.
Forty one years of hard work took care of that.

I took the skin off the top of my index finger when I took the first shot of my 44 mag Ruger Super Blackhawk 50 years ago.

I want to shoot SA revolvers so bad.
But they always feel like they are going to fly out of my hand

Fortunately, I don’t have that problem but a mono grip may help. https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1003933414?pid=781093

A bunch of us went down to the desert
brought about three of everything
and a cannon.
15 yo kid was watching me with
my .44 SBH 11" "Can I shoot it?"
So I gave it to his Dad with a box of
'mild' H-110 250 grain Keith boolits,
I said "Teach him to shoot it"
"Roger that"
They burned down all my handloads
they rang the 100 yd gong
120 rounds later gave back the SBH.
Kid licked the blood off his knuckles
said "I want one."

And that is how a young shooter starts planning his harem of handguns LOL
