Freedom Arms ported .454 here.
IMHO, there is NO comparing the recoil to any SA .357.
Similar to what Buckhorn says, I describe the .454 recoil as 'sudden'.
Recoil is not really that severe, just fast.
The Freedom Arms .454 requires you to 'stay in the gun' with a very firm hold throughout the firing sequence.
When I got the pistol almost 30 years ago, I had it ported and had FA do a trigger job.
The trigger is LIGHT. I am used to the trigger, but it is the only pistol I own that I do not allow others to shoot out of
concerns of someone using a light hold and catching the front sight in the forehead.
I would not recommend a .454 to anyone who has not spent some real quality time behind a .44 first.
