My 5.5" Super Blackhawk has a moderate amount of recoil, but the most unpleasant handgun for me was my Kel Tec PF9. I really wanted to like that little beast, but it was very unreliable and hurt my hand every time I fired it. My .44 is much more pleasant to shoot.

Tried "Fluff and buff", replaced the extractor, did a bunch of other work to it to try and get it to run but never could get to run reliably enough to use it as a carry gun. Finally sold it with full disclosure.
