I'm a handgun hunter now on 44 Mag number 4.
The current one, a stainless Ruger Super Redhawk, 10 in, with a 2x scope, is the only one that I've felt comfortable shooting full power loads with.
I have small hands, and the previous 44 mags, a Virginia Dragoon ($90, used, probably the same as the Arminius), a Ruger Super Blackhawk 7 1/2 in., and an S&W 629-1, 8 3/8 in. tended to beat me up. The Smith was the best of them, and the Blackhawk the worst. Once it actually burst open a finger! Aftermarket grips and a filler behind the square trigger guard just made reaching the trigger more difficult. I had to use reloads, 225 grs at no more than 1100 fps., to survive it.
The Redhawk is great! Accurate, reliable, not as smooth or well finished as the Smith but good enough. The grip fits perfectly and the recoil is taken up by my whole hand, not just the web.
I guess the moral of this story is try it before you buy it, and keep trying!
