I just bought a G2 in 44 mag and to me it has a pretty good kick to it with a 12 inch bbl. I shoot 44 S&W in mine and the kick is a lot easier. I have a set of High Plane's custom stock ordered for it that should be here sometime next week and will see how it shoots then. I just picked up a set of grips and 15 inch 223 barrel for my encore so have to give it a shot soon. I really like the 223 round and have a 26 inch barrel for the encore and it shoots nice.
