I'm thinking about purchasing one of these and putting some Ahrends grips on it for a woods carry gun while I'm hiking. My main concern, though, is barrel length and ballistics. Is a 2.625in barrel enough barrel to take advantage of .357 or .44 magnum ballistics? Does one perform better than the other out of shorter barrels? The also make this gun in .41 magnum, would this be a good performing cartridge? I'm getting into hand loading so ammunition wouldn't be a problem.
My primary concern is Black Bear, wild pigs and two legged critters.
