This looks like it hurts to shoot.

Nah it's 410. The worst part is a bit of gas from the cylinder gap.

I thought this shoots 45LC also? From pictures I've seen, looks to have a guard that blocks the cylinder gap.

I left him a comment! The tldr is this gun looks to have the fixes I did to my own earlier sr410 (the traditional stock one)  so it should be  decent gas wise. Still recommend glasses for your eyes and removing the right side blast shield, but it won't be anywhere as bad as the original sr410s

Oh no worries, I commented after your comment, so you wouldn't have been  able to see it!

Is that gas a problem if you hold it pistol grip only? Like gas in face?

I have the more traditional version, and  there are ways to avoid the gas in the face, or at least limit it

  1. Having the gun further away, like a stock  extension.  My gun had one of those super short stocks, this gun looks not bad honestly.

  2. Take off the right side blast shield on the side of the cylinder,  For right handed folks. Taking off the right side actually gives the gas a nice escape away from your face. Keep the left one on though to protect your hand and face 

3 use either a red dot or these flip up sights. The idea is that they keep  your face a bit further away from the gun when aiming. My gun has just a bead sight and you'd lean in close to aim and get more gas to the face. I added a red dot and that helped a lot.

So basically, these new guns should be decent, they basically already have the 3 fixes I did to my old one.  You'll likely get a bit of gas sometimes,  but it shouldn't wreck your shooting experience. I do suggest wearing some safety glasses or something. I shoot with my normal prescription glasses so that keeps the gas out of my eyes
