With these cartridges you're in the range of 1700-1800 ft/lbs energy.

These are the standard for the 5-shot lightweight revolvers from Freedom Arms or from Huntington and the other custom wheel gun builders.
Finished guns weigh about 3-1/2 pounds.

I was surprised by the weight of these Pedersoli Howdahs. Similar in weight to a full long arm game 12-bore shotgun.

Has anyone shot a .45/70 in a Thompson Contender or similar handgun? How does it perform? How manageable is the recoil?

Of course in a Howdah, it could be reloaded for lesser recoil.
