I have the very same gun as the OP with those boot grips on it. I bought it about 2 years ago and have shot it quite a bit. I loaded some 300 and 320 grain lead bullets in 44 Mag brass for mine, kind of a medium load, a fair bit hotter than a 44 Spec., but not to maximum. I'd call them about 85% of max. I liked the idea of heavier bullets at a slightly reduced velocity in this gun for some reason. I carry it in the woods here in NW Montana, primarily as back-up to a rifle or shotgun when hunting. In any event, I find that the recoil is significant, but not intolerable. I had to modify my grip a little with those stocks, and also make sure that my strong-hand thumb is well below and away from the cylinder release latch. And I generally shoot barehanded, no glove. It isn't too terribly bad, but I will say that after 20 or 30 rounds I'm ready to be done.
