Howdy Folks,
I'm writing just to pass along a good experience with a new gun.
Yesterday I got a new Taurus .44 magnum with a 4" barrel. It's the blued version, and it looks really sharp with the black frame and black grip. I got mine for backcountry camping, and I opted for the 4" barrel for easy concealment when necessary. I got it for $380 NIB in Tucker, GA.
The shooting is very comfortable. My gun is ported so muzzle flip is manageable. Shooting .44 specials is a treat, no recoil at all. The .44 magnums certainly make themselves felt, but it's not nearly as bad as I was expecting. I don't think it's any worse than a .357 magnum I shot the other day.
If you have been thinking of a .44 magnum for camp defense and the like, I can think of a whole lot worse than this sucker.
