.44 magnum question
« Reply #45 on: May 08, 2007, 02:38:34 PM »
well...  If you don't reload and the recoil of a 44 mag bothers you for some reason...

Don't buy a 44 mag.    There is no point... if 44 special is the limit of your recoil tolerance then simply buy a revolver chambered for 44 special.   Smith makes an excellent one.

It will be more compact and have less distance to the throat and probly be more accurate than a 44 mag revolver shooting 44 special rounds.

course... the ammo won't be all that much cheaper but... if you simply have to have a 44 but can't shoot a magnum round.... the special is a good round in guns chambered for em... you could also buy a good single action 44-40 chambered revolver.

odee... reloading does not mean making your own pressure chambers (whatever that means).

You can load all sorts of rounds from 44 special level on up to max in 44 mag cases.  

If you want to shoot 44 special rounds because 44 mag is too much recoil to handle... why get a 44 mag revolver?

They are bigger and not as handy as a 44 special revolver so get the gun chambered for the round you will shoot.

If you do take up reloading in the future you can reload all those 44 special cases you will have and save a bundle of money.
