Also what are some other fun calibers starting with 4? I'm looking to get one last toy... Well for a while. So calibers will be appreciated.

I faced a similar delemma last year. I wanted, or so I thought; a 44 Magnum for a trail/woods gun. The large frame guns were very heavy; too heavy I felt for a hip holster. I looked at a Taurus® Mdl 44C TRACKER™ & really liked it as it was only 34oz. The gun is ported & has an expansion chamber to reduce recoil. That's a fine feature, if you realize, you end it with for all intents and purposes; a 3" barrel 44 Mag! Bottom line = Mucho Recoil

What finally worked for me was a Taurus® TRACKER™ in 41 Magnum. It's comfortable to carry, ported w/o an expansion chamber, & LOW RECOIL. It has very ample power and I love it.
