.44Mag for home defense?

[Glamdring]

Wow!

They have the 200 44 special @ 900 but even better they have the 200 GDHP in 44 mag @ 1050.

BTW the Speer factory load is listed at 875 from a 6" brrl. But I wanted 900 from my 4" 629. I have to say that I like the idea of 1050 fps better

Dave R,

Try the W-W SilverTip 44 SPCL load.

Home defense .44 mag

Home defense against what, Ghidra, the Three-Headed Monster?

Try a .44spl in the same gun. Same big hole, less perforation of everything behind Mothra, Rodan, or The Thing That Ate New York.

Next thing, people will be asking if a .454 Casull is enough for squirrel.

while the .44 Magnum may suffice,

I personally prefer a .45 caliber autoloader as my gate-keeper; and I'm biasis towards the Sig-Sauer
P220A.

Dammit RWK...

I had never heard of a S&W 627 so I looked it up, well now I HAVE to have one. My god a .357 in an N frame. That must be one of the sweetest shooting guns ever.

Sweetttt......
