To me this is really like asking "if you wanted a 45ACP, what would it be, OR, if you wanted a 10mm Auto, what would it be". It just seems a crazy question to me. First off, why would you care what gun someone else wants, given no other specification other than two calibers? Here's my problem: let's say you narrowed it down to 44 Mag. "Hey, what 44 Mag gun would you buy?".
Why do you give a rat's a$$ what 44 Mag gun someone else would buy? I don't get it. So, after I bought the 44 I wanted, and posted it to of course elicit the "oh yeah that's nice" comments, someone comes back with "yes, but soon you'll want one of these" and posted photos of what for me are the most hideous examples of revolvers ever made--the very reason I don't generally like revolvers. What to this guy is 'the coolest' is to me not even a consideration--I wouldn't own a revolver if that is what was available.
It's just not reasonable, or productive, to me to ask such a wide open question. Not sure how any good can come from it. Silhouette gun? Carry gun? Hunting gun? Down-at-the-club paper gun? Plinking gun? You gotta know every gun owner responding is going to say "well here's what I have and it's pretty cool". How does that help?
Here, your only choice that's realistic is to buy this one, because it's the one I bought, and I think it's the coolest 44 ever made. Never mind I'd never be caught dead shooting it or that I think its uglier than a pink glock in camo.
Can you narrow it down? It drives me just a little nuts when some says "I have $500 to spend what should I buy?" It would be a better question to ask if we just said "I have $500 to flush down the toilet on a toy. What toy do you think I would have the most fun with?" How can anyone know what toy you'd have the most fun with?
