Actually, I'm so impressed by the .44 Magnum....
That I can't be bothered to own one.
If versatility is truly in in the eye of the beholder, then for me it has absolutely NO virtures to recommend it.
I don't hunt with a handgun, so it's of no use to me there.
I'm not impressed with a handgun's sheer physical size. That said, I own numerous N-frame S&Ws, none in .44 Mag.
It's too big to be truly adequately concealed.
I'm not one of those individuals whose greatest sense of accomplishment firing a handgun comes from firing the one that kicks most.
That's just the short list of why I find the .44 Magnum to be lacking, and why it's very likely I'll never own one.
That said, yes, I know, you CAN fire .44 Special cartridges out of a .44 Magnum, which addresses some of the issues that I've raised above.
But I know of an even better way to address that issue.
Buy one of these, a Smith & Wesson 24-3.
