If I was limited to keeping just one handgun, then I would definitely keep my S&W 329. No doubt about it. Unbelievably lightweight. You do not even know you are carrying it, it is so light. Recoil is manageable with heavy loads, however I do not shoot a lot of heavy loads in the revolver. I cast a 240 grain bullet for this revolver and load it down a bit to shoot, and to hunt with. I have shot a few does with this revolver, with great satisfaction in revolver and bullet. Easily accurate to 60 or 70 yards with open sights. I consider hunting accuracy with a revolver as simply this---if I can hit a brick laying flat on the ground off handed. And I can easily do that with my 329 to 60 or 70 yards. If you do not reload you can shoot 44 Special loads in the revolver. And the best of all is that you have S&W quality.

In the handgun world. Titanium is KING. You can have your plastic(oh I mean polymer) semi's. Tom.
