The .475 is actually quite pleasant to shoot in a single action. I spent some time with Linebaugh when I lived in Wy. and shot his .475 a bunch. It was on a Ruger Bisley frame and so accurate it was scary. I never could afford one but I haf a .45 on a Seville frame that was all the handgun I will ever need for ANYTHING. A wll made .475 is not painfull to shoot in a single action at all for what my 2 bits is worth.
