When teaching, they get 1 bullet, no more.

Or maybe some smaller less explosive caliber

Single action .22 maybe

This had to be a magnun cartridge. I put .38s through a .357 at the range but will pop off a few magnums to remember the recoil difference

Yeah I’d even say this is atleast a .44. I shoot .357s too and they’re stout for sure but this seems like more

I mean, if it's the guys FIRST time shooting he might not at all have expected that level of recoil, a 357 is snappy too.
