With the big game getting tougher every year, I decided that maybe bad guys might be tougher too. Therefore today for our Aniversery, my wife picked me up a new Taurus Ultralite 44 Mag revolver. It weights just 28.3 oz and the grip is very comfotable. I picked up a box of Federal 44 Special 200 Gr. SWHP ammo to test it and that is the recommended defense load for the 44 Mag or 44 Special. I fired a few rounds through it on the way home and with those loads and those grips, its a ***** cat to shoot. Full power loads may be a little different story but it fits my hand like they custom made it for me. However I have very large hands.
