hands, I have a S&W (57...*I think) in 41 magnum. Like you, I like to be a little different. And whether it's the pistol (I KNOW part of it is, it has the nicest trigger in my gun collection...I'm pretty sure it's been in a gunsmith's hands before.) or the cartridge I'd rather shoot it than my SRH 44 anyday. Tough break how it never got the following it deserved in the law enforcement and defense world. I thought about the 444 for a little while, but if I'm going to go with a more expensive round, I'd like to stick to the classic 45-70
