If I could only have one handgun caliber, it would be the .44 Magnum. For protection against both two and four legged predators, it is the most versatile of them all.
It has stopped every game animal on the planet including elephants. It can shoot snake shot, mild .44 Special to 300+ grain elephant stoppers.
When I go in the woods where there is any kind of threat, I carry a 4inch Redhawk with heavier loads. I hunt with a SBH Bisley Hunter in .44 Mag as well
It's pretty hard to beat the .44 Magnum's versatility. It is a very easy cartridge to handload and can be loaded from 180-340 grains..
