He's luck the barrel was still pointing away from his head!

The guy who had that happen to him must have had a weak elbow or thought he was firing a .22. My daughters used to fire my .44s all the time with a 1 handed grip once they had gotten used to the recoil.

Yeah, the guy was just an idiot, zero respect for the firearm and no idea of the recoil and how to deal with it. Don't know if he'd ever shot any gun before that. The only time I was really surprised by a gun was shooting my friends replica Colt 1860 Army (two-handed). The recoil was a little hairy the first shot. The second shot went into the ground trying to compensate haha. After that I was pretty much on target. That was a fun one to shoot! The 4 of us only got to squeeze off 12 rounds each though.
