My Father-In-Law gave me his Thompson Center Encore Pro Hunter Pistol...It has the S&W 460 Magnum Barrel...it will fire 45 Colts, 454's and of course the 460 S&W Magnum...I think I will get the 22 LR barrel and the 45/410 shot gun barrel for it too.

Oh, 76 degrees in Gulf Breeze, Florida today...photos were taken today...Go Giants!!!!

Without the porting in the barrell, how is the recoil? I sold my 454 Casull due to the excessive recoil, but maybe the Thompson is more forgiving? I did shoot a few 45 long Colts which don't have nearly the punch. Bill

I have not fired it yet...my father in law bought it several years ago to hunt bear in Alaska. He suffered a stroke and he can no longer shoot. He did tell me to start out with the 45's first time I shoot it as the 460's will "kick" a little bit, he said.

Here are a couple of videos of this gun being fired...I'm honestly a little apprehensive of the 460's!
