The blast actually moved the camera too! :cool:

This is a video of me shooting my 3.5" .460 double-action fairly quickly with full-power .460 ammo. As you can see, I'm not a big guy at about 140 soaking wet. http://vid908.photobucket.com/albums/ac290/nebmike/IMG_5525.mp4 I use the exact same grip and stance with this gun as I do with any...

The gun hasn't recoiled yet - as evidenced by both the lack of muzzle rise and the fact that the b/c flash is in the frame. I've seen high speed footage of hammer bounce on heavy recoiling guns and I've never seen more than maybe 1/4" at most. I still vote for freaky magic. :rolleyes:

Thats pretty crazy that the pic captured the flash with the hammer still back! Some freaky magic goin on there! LOL :cool:

Ok, so I just have one question... if the OP's gun doesnt have either a ball detent or the 'old' ejector rod lock... how in THE hell did it ever get out of the factory?!? I mean, thats like whole steps in the process that just got skipped. Their manufacturing process has parts moving from...

My 627-5 does not have a ball detent. It was purchased new two years ago. It does have the 'lock' at the end of the ejector rod.

The .45's were loaded with 231, the .454's with 296 and the .460's with 296 and IMR 4227.

Here is one more vid - just a single shot, but its a little closer than the others. Another full power .460... http://vid908.photobucket.com/albums/ac290/nebmike/IMG_5523.mp4

The .45's were a 255gr going 820fps. The .454 and .460 were both hot handloads with 300gr XTP MAG bullets. I was shooting those same .45's out of my Ruger Vaquero the same day - crazy how much difference there was in recoil between the two guns. LOL

Thanks for the info on the sights, guys! I'll be ordering something different tomorrow.

As I went back through the videos of the one-handed shots, I found a couple more neat still frames. These are consecutive frames from the video, first just prior to the shot, second you can see glow starting on the table and third, not a fire ring but a fire tube! :-)

Here are a few videos. As you can see, I'm a little guy - and the recoil really isn't that bad. :-) This first one is three shots -- first shot is a standard .45 Colt cowboy load, the second is a .454 Casull and the last is a full power .460 Magnum...

Those were all various handloads I put together just to try out using 240 and 300gr XTP MAG's with 296 powder, and 325gr hard cast with IMR 4227 powder. No perceptible heat at all. Actually I barely noticed the fire balls when shooting it because of it being daylight. I was quite surprised...

I really like it so far. I'm a bit of a recoil whore, so its fun as hell for me to shoot. This and my snubby Ruger Alaskan in .454 Casull are two of my most favorite guns to shoot. I put up a separate thread on this issue, but with the factory fiber optic front sight I cant get the thing...

Got a few good shots today with the 3.5" .460... These first three are three consecutive frames from I pulled from a video. Scroll down to posts #23 & 35 to see the videos. Two more consecutive frames from a video... And then two random stills...
