self defense against human attackers. not something that can double as a hunting round or use in the woods on four "legged" critters..., not something for grandma or little Jane....
I say the .44 special 190gr. LHP by Underwood or Buffalo bore seems to be [on paper] the best of power, penetration, expansion, without excessive recoil or blast.
now, while the Ruger GP100 and even the old J-frame sized Taurus 445 snub can easily handle such rounds, fair warning is given for the more delicate Charter Arms. That said, even Charter Arms guns can fire a very modest amount of this round.
what say you?
