Mere opinion.....
Keeping in mind that I have shot 44 magnums, single actions and double actions, yet never owned one; (I'm a 45 Colt guy, myself...), I'm of the opinion that, on a scale of one to ten, for a WOODS HANDGUN, with no other firearm in the equation, then the Ruger Super Blackhawk is a TEN, in fact, it should be the standard, by which all others should be compared. But if you are carrying a centerfire big-game rifle anyway, it would make better sense to have a 22 rimfire in your holster. Forget urban self defense against gangs of thugs; we're talking about the woods. Go with a decent revolver, guys; and if you don't have one, get one. WTH?
