7 BC Pistol

Apparently, the recoil isn't "that" bad.

I thought for sure he was going to take a scope to the eye.

I agree.

Frankly, I have never understood how people handle the pistol recoil of anything 308+ but they seem to love shooting them.

Just like with large cartridge rifles, it is all in the follow-through. If you lock your wrists and have a death-grip on the handgun, you are in for a bad day. Also, similar to rifle stocks, the design of the stock will help. Center-grips are easier to control than rear-grips.

Interestingly, it was my love of hunting with handguns that lead me to smaller chamberings for rifles. If I could effectively kill deer at 250 yards with a 14" barreled 7TCU, then surely my 7-08 was effective to 500, so why was I using a 7RM?
