Love the .44 caliber revolvers. Had a Redhawk that I stupidly traded. Now have a S&W Mountain Gun that is accurate and fun to shoot from Cowboy loads to full steam W296 loads. I also was tempted to load it with medium .44 mag HP for home defense since I shoot it pretty well. But the G23 with weapon light and full power .40 ammo (14+13 rds easily carried) makes more sense. So the .44 is relegated to range fun and it’s original purpose of hiking and camping in big bear woods (not local).
It seemed Win 200 gr Silvertips was pretty decent .44 Special ammo but it is SAAMI spec so around 800 FPS.
It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! ... Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!" - Patrick Henry in an address at St. John’s Church, Richmond, Virginia, on March 23, 1775.
