I like the longer barrels on a .44.I ain't crazy about recoil.
Just my :twocents:.Heavier is easier to hold steady too,in my opinion.

Very wise words!!I also shot hundreds of rounds prior to and during hunting season out to 100 yards practicing. If your not willing to spend lots of time practicing with a handgun, stick with a rifle.
AMEN!!!!!!!Very wise words!!
I have a S&W model 57 with a 8 3/8 BBL .......for those that don't know it's a 41 magnum.
I bought it to hunt with and have yet to kill with it. I killed a doe with one of my S&W 686's and have been hooked to it since for handgunning.
Some say the 357mag is to light and I beg to differ. With a 158 grain bullet it works very nicely.
I have a 4" and a 6" 686 and love them both!!
But if I was going to get a 44 I would look at a older S&W 629 classic or a Ruger Super Redhawk with a 7.5 BBL.
Personally if I was going to spend the money ........I would buy the 454 casull:thumb:
Practice is the key with any handgun and practice with the load your going to hunt with. so for the non handloader it could get real expensive!!
No Trouble it's not for sale!!:biggrin:Got 2-41Mags............both Blackhawks, a 4 5/8 & a 6 1/2....both are fun to shoot and have killed many a deer with both...with the right handloads, it can out preform a 44!!!!! would love to find a Mod 57:up:
I agree with Flintknapper. I've got a Taurus. Not the kind your looking at, just a 38 special I keep close for my own protection. So far, so good. When I bought it the friend of mine at the gun store told me the same thing Flintknapper said. They haven't been around as long as all the other gun companies but no complaints so far.I know Ruger's have a good reputation, as do S&W. What about the Taurus? I have owned a Taurus semi, and had no complaints about it. Quite a bit of price difference between the 3
