WOW ! I have never fired a gun with such painful recoil, and I own several .357 Mags.

I agree...recoil is highly subjective but I can say 100% that when I take my Charter out for other shooters not familiar with it, they are always shocked at how hard that little stinker kicks. It's like the noisy cricket on Men in Black, no one expects it to bite that much.
In comparison, my 4" 629 with full magnum loads is much easier on the hand.
I ran a box of these here through that Charter:
50 Round Box - 44 Special 200 Grain SJHP Hollow Point Ammo by Fiocchi - 44SA | SGAmmo.com
My hand meat was sore the next day.
