The Raging Bull in 454 is a nice pistol. One of the guys has one and its accurate. Ive got a Ruger Super Redhawk in .454 and its a good oen as well.
Recoil with the .45Colt +P loads is light to moderate, and with heavy bullet Ruger Only .45 Colt loads its what I consider moderate compared to a 300 grain full power .454 Casull load. Full power .454 is very snappy and heavy as it comes back hard and fast. But since the Redhawk is so accurate with the 2x Weaver, I like shooting it.
But it is a whole different ball game than factory 240s in the .44mag.
