Next step is paving the road to perdition with good intentions..........................sorta new…….about 7 years old…

I picked up a S&W Mdl 29 4" in 44 mag and ended up trading it straight across for a 65 Coupe De Ville because it was making me flinch and ruining my offhand pistol shooting. Besides the blasty recoil, there was a huge fireball about six feet in front of the barrel.I bought a 44 magnum Dan Wesson, 8 inch barrel for $100 many years ago. I shot it one time and sold it to my friend for the hundred dollars I paid for it. I was talking to one of my buddies who is a very accomplished gunsmith, and he warned me against shooting the gun because I broke my shoulder. I’ve got a friend bugging me to sell it to him but I’m not sure I want to sell it but I’m pretty damn sure I don’t wanna shoot it. I’ve got a 4 inch scar right where the butt of the rifle rests. 2-31 mags of 9 mm makes my shoulder very sore so I assume this gun will probably make it much worse.
My Desert Eagle in 44 mag on the other hand was a pleasure to shoot.
