and it's a Ruger Super Redhawk chambered in 45 colt and 454 casull.
Any tips on shooting this hand cannon. I've never had a revolver or a big bore pistol like this. I'm a wee bit intimidated.

Point it down range
Firm grip
Pull trigger
Grin
Repeat

There are criminals among us who are both homicidal and incorrigible. Their parents took a shot at civilizing them and failed. Their school teachers took a shot at them and failed. The odds are overwhelming that government welfare programs and penal institutions took a shot at them and failed. If it ever becomes your turn to take a shot at them, don’t fail.

Re: So I'm getting a new peashooter...
Make sure you grip it up as high on the grip as you can. Take a firm hold, not a death-grip, it won't bite you, it's just like any other handgun. As you may have noticed, that's a big heavy hunk of steel, it will help absorb and control the recoil.
If you are intimidated by it, start with lighter loads (Cowboy Action loads are usually pretty mild) and work up to the big bruisers. You'll get used to it along the way.

It's not here yet but it's coming to stay with a couple Ruger M77 rifles next week.
I pretty darn excited. It's even showing up with some shells and a set of reloading dies for it and the rifles.
I have so many expensive calibers now that I'm either going to have to start reloading or sell something...guess I'm shopping for reloading equipment now.
