I have 10-ish Ruger handguns.
My favorite is a 44 Mag Redhawk set up primarily for bowling pin hunting.
Uncle Mike's grips, Magna-Ported barrel, Pro-Point red dot, chamfered chambers, some polishing of things that move in the action, ligther springs (Federal primers only).
I shoot custom swaged bullets in it mostly... 320 grain full wad cutter hollow points. Soemtimes I shoot 240 grain cast SWC's for practice, as swaged bullets take longer to make.
The gun is heavy, the loads are relatively light, so the recoil is nil. The Magnaporting does add to recoil, but muzzle climb is almost zero. In fact, there is little change in point of impact out to 50 yards or so no matter what the load or bullet is.
