Versatility: One gun shoots 44 Spec or 44 Mag.
Availability: Although not cheap, 44 Mag is one of the "popular" calibers, which means you can usually find what you need at "popular" prices.
Mine is a Ruger 7.5" SRH with a 2x scope. I use it for hunting, target and just plain shootin'. As a handloader, the range of 44 Spec & Mag loadings & availability of componens allow me to do almost anything I want very economically.
