Actually, the only revolver I own is a beautiful Ruger Redhawk in .44 magnum. Bought it over 25 years ago, when I thought it the most beautiful revolver in the world. Still think it's up near the top for that. As for the .44 mag cartridge, yes, it's rather versatile, I'll give it that. But, if I was a handgun hunter and avid reloader for hunting rounds, I think I'd far prefer the .45 Colt today.
