IF your goal is to accurately shoot full house .44 Mag as fast as possible, I'd recommend you train your self on a Desert Eagle. The massive weight of the gun, plus the shape of the grip reduce muzzle rise and recoil recovery time more than any .44 Mag revolver I know.

44AMP, Thats not my goal.
There was a time in the 70's and 80's we were going through about 100 lbs of wheel weights a month.
Economic hard times had me trading some guns for mortgage payments.
I decided my SBH would be the one "keeper" I would not sell.
I shortened the bbl to 5 in. Put the original front sight back on. Much better to wear driving the pickup. It was with me a lot.
Though I used my Win 97 with slugs when an AK bear made it necessary,camping in Denali my SBH was in my pack.
It put venison in the freezer.
No.its not the ultimate combat handgun. But I was confident I was armed and dangerous at least to 100 yds.
I made a point of finding what worked best for me.
I had worked behind 5 guys with chainsaws cutting fenceposts in the Medicine Bow. I was the guy with the horse and dredge bucket picking up the posts ,skidding them out and loading them on the truck.
Then I busted tires,including truck tires,for 7 years before I took up machining. Literally,ripping phone books and paperbacks in half was no problem. I could grip the plow handle.
My goal was to partner up with my SBH to be as effective at whatever I might need a gun for as possible. Especially if it was something that might bite me.
We spent a lot if time together trying different things, . I found what works for me. The 50 yd ten inch steel dinger would get hit at least 50 rounds near every time we went out shooting.. Almost never missed,six for six as fast as I could thumb and find the sights.
Thats what worked very well for me. I have no interest in a Desert Eagle. None. While a Redhawk or a M-29 Smith are very nice guns,I think I made the point for aimed fire ,given they all recoil, thumbing the hammer costs me no time . No,I'm no Jerry Miculek. Not even close!
I like the excellent "sweet spot" that a Single Action Revolver IS.
44AMP, I agree, you are doing it "right"" . The plow handle was meant to roll.
I do not suggest you do things my way.
But "My Way" works for me. And I confess, I like the Bisley grip frame on my Lipsey Special. Or the hump on the back strap of the Lightning/Thunderer.
I can't prioritize it in the budget these days,but a Bisley SBH would be nice.
We can all have fun. We can be different. Its OK.
