I shoot a lot of 170g LSWC/HP, but I would have to go dig out my records to be sure of powder type and weight used. Even with the hot hand loads the recoil is not bad, but slide hammering really gets to me even with light loads with my arthritic hands.

My G29 and my big Para PXT 14-45 do not bother my hands for what ever reason. Neither does my Dan Wesson 744 (44 Mag) for that matter. My 357 magnums however does give my hands some problems as do my 22 Ruger automatic's, but the 22 magnum revolvers do just fine.
