Seeing another thread with comments about the .327 brings this to mind...
Last summer at one of the local Ladies Pistol Shoots, I had the displeasure of being on the firing line adjacent to a gal and her RSO after she decided she wanted to try one of the Ruger SP101's chambered in .327 Federal.
I have fired full-tilt .357 Magnum loads from short barreled revolvers, been near a comp ported .357 Sig, and a host of other pretty loud chamberings in particularly loud pistols, but I don't think I ever felt a concussion quite I like felt coming from that .327 Fed fired from that SP101. I had the opportunity to put a few rounds down range with that revolver after the Ladies were finished up, prior to tearing down and cleaning up the range. It didn't sound or feel any better from behind the revolver than it did standing next to it.
I have to say, I believe that .327 Fed/SP101 combo is about the most obnoxious little turd I have ever been around - - as far as handguns go.
What is the most obnoxious cartridge/pistol combo any of you have felt (concussion wise), fired (sharp recoiling wise), or heard (ear-rending crack, close by)?
