357 vs 44
Given your Use suggestions I would recommend as many of the others, did getting a 357 Mag 6 inch. You will have great fun blowing out x rings. If you're not going into the backwoods to hunt or hike (in bear country) a 44 wont do much more for you. Unless you get a kick out of shooting one like me!
I have a snubby 357 and a 6 inch 44 and I wouldn't trade it for a 357, however I will pistol hunt on occasion and wanted a little black bear medicine if needed. Plus mastering a 44 with hot loads can be a fun and challenging task.
Good Luck,
big guns are fun, and damn accurate too!
