I held one once in the '80s but did not fire it, very muzzle heavy. Talked to an owner several years ago who told me that: recoil was vicious, muzzle blast horrendous, and not really accurate.

My M29 / 629 has all I need for power. If you really want thump, use a 45-70 rifle. My Taylor Arms Quigley is fun to shoot without the pain and suffering.
