I have a Smith 627 and just ordered a 629.
It dawned on me that in researching a 357 magnum I came across a lot of threads talking about the penetration of 357 magnum for Home Defense and also for personal defense.
However, I have seen nothing similar for a 44 magnum penetration through walls in the home or through a perpetrator and hitting others out in public. AND penetrating through a house to another house next door.
I would assume that the 44 magnum has comparable or greater penetration that 357 magnum.
Since my home is occupied only by my wife and I and next door neighbors are well over 150 feet away, using each caliber (4" barrels) is a probability, but I do have semi autos and 12 ga shotgun that are primary defense calibers.
What say you?
