Taurus ported 44?

How bad would one of these be on the hands, and are these to be avoided for any reason? There is one up on arfcom for 425 with some ammo and I'm thinking "why not"?

Is it the big one? if so, it's made with the same frame as the .454 so it should be durable enough.

If it's one of the smaller ones I can't say about that, But Tauras did learn alot with the .454 and for the most part they are excellent quality now days.

Hmmm, it weighs 7oz LESS than a GP-100 in 357 (which I don't mind the recoil except that it blister/cuts my trigger finger after a couple boxes). That makes me leery, and if it is online and hasn't sold before I get around to looking at it there must be low demand for future resale. Maybe if it doesn't go anywhere in a couple days...

It is in-state of course, couple days without any updates to the post.
