It will blow your head c-l-e-a-n off. That's taken from the expert Dirty Harry.
What's a 44 magnum good for?
- It is a good carry gun while hiking if you are in bear country or just like big revolvers.
- It is good for self defense as long as there are no buildings or people behind the perp. (Remember the c-l-e-a-n off bit.)
- Makes large fireballs which are fun at dusk.
- Kicks more than many like in normal factory loadings.
- Great hunting round for thin skinned big game in North America.
- Fun to shoot every now and then if you are not a recoil junkie.
- Pretty accurate round in a revolver.
- Overpowered for most self defense situations, except perhaps in 44 special loadings.
- Shooting one often creates a lot of attention at indoor ranges.
I like 41 magnums better, but that is just me.
