I have 454 Casull Freedom Arms single action and 454 SuperRedhawk, and have hunted w 454 & hot 45 LC. Still limiting my hunting shots to about my bow range, say 50 yards. Training as time permits.
Am seriously considering getting a 44 Mag, leaning towards SW 629's:
SW Hunter (black and silver w/ break) or
SW glass bead 8" fluted that had upper and lower rails or
SW stainless matte w/ compensateor barrel (but what is the deal with the grip style on that one?).
I have nothing against Ruger Super Redhawk, but am learning SW PC 629. Would consider RSRH.
I did handle the glass bead fluted version with the upper and lower rails in store and it felt great, but that s not fair to the other 3 options I listed. Also would consider the Stealth Hunter, but that seems unnecessaryly expensive and ugly in comparison.
I also handled some large frame SW 6-7" barrled Non PC versions and felt they didn't fit me as well and the trigger felt big and awkward.
Forget about Trail Gun, that's covered.
I want a hunter w 4" to 8 " Max barrel.
Have Glock 20, XDM 10 mm and 357 8 shot.
I realize I don't Need a 44, I could put the $1100 into ammo and gas, but when had that stopped us before? Just kind of lusting over some of the 629 s
Advice and Experience please?
