I quess its not for everyone but I purchased the Tausus Ultralite 44 Mag. Its just 26 inches with a 4 inch barrel. With full power 44 Mag loads its a handfull but with 44 Specials or reduced loads it real portable power. I load 300 Grain LBT style bullets at about 1000 fps. Thats an easy load to shoot but delivers some serous Horse Power.
