Niklas,

If I understand you correctly--would you say that the .44-40 is more of a push as far as recoil is concerned ? I really love my 25-2 in .45 ACP just because the recoil is more of a push unlike the .44 mag. which can be punishing.

Also--thanks for all the insight--it is greatly appreciated--plus I tend to like the weird calibers, just more interesting. Already looking for brass and I don't even have a gun yet--go figure.
