Eeee! Nice pistola, Chris. Handloads for that would be very suitable for whatever, I would imagine. Don't have much personal exp. with .44Spl - only wife uses it. Used to carry a .45 for various tasks - personal M1911A1 for some things and Blackhawk 45 Colt for others (boy, has that taken a truckload of game). Wife got me a first-gen Redhawk 44 mag when they first came out, so that tends to come along most of the time since then, but I probably should stop using it... nah. Despite that, I guess I'm a bigger fan of 45 Colt in wheel guns than I am of 44 Mag. Worse than knives for preferences...<br><br>Regards,<br><br>Tom
