I would use 2 hands. Back in the 70's while at 29 Palms, I met a former Marine that had a house out in the desert. He had a shotgun he had put a pistol grip on. Showing off using one hand he fired both barrels and the grip came apart in his hand and twisted his wrist a little. I had a Smith 45 that I sold when my kids were small just because I didn't want any accidents. They're bigger now and after a recent attempted break in at my house, I'd like to exercise my second amendment rights again. Might go for a 9mm.

The Smith & Wesson is the only firearm I've owned, but after I sold it, I did feel a profound sense of loss. It took some getting used to.

I shot a friend of mines 50. While the recoil is significant it's not a man killer. Actually my Ruger Super .44 probably jumps harder. Gun was heavy enough and balanced that I didn't think it was that bad.

Keep in mind though I'm a pretty big guy also.
