Hi Guys,
I'm about to make my first revolver purchace, and have narrowed down the field between a Taurus 445 Stainless ,Compact (ported) 44 special and a Ruger SP101 in 357 magnum. I'm looking for an easier gun to hide than my full size Colt 1911 (Which I shoot about 2000 rounds a year). The price is about the same give or take $50.00
I know the 357 is flexable with 38,38+P and full house 357 loads but the 44 Special is,just "more" gun.
Can the.44 Russian round be safely fired in 44 special, if so, wouldn't that make it just as flexiable as the 357?
Which one would be more controlable with light weight bullets for self defence?(180"s for the 44 and 125"s for the 357)
Also, I can reload for both so that issue is taken care of.
Any replys would be greatly appreicated
