If you want a hoot. Go with a contender in a rifle caliber like 30-30 or find one in .35 rem. If you scope it, make sure the scope has a 2 foot eye relief and don't hug it. It is not a one hand hold!
I used to own a 1st generation Contender Frame when they came out and I had a 22lr, 44 mag, and a 30/30 barrel to interchange on the frame. I think maybe the loudness and extra muzzle flash make people think that the recoil is worse than it is. To me it didn’t feel much different than the 44 mag. Those first barrels were 8 and 10 inches. Boy that’s almost getting back to the time of the matchlocks.IOI
