Just trying to find a balance here.
Thanks
Sounds good to me. I used to carry a 357 in the woods and then I sold it. The next biggest pistol I have is a 40Cal. so I carry that now. I'm in Colorado and don't feel I need anything bigger that that here. If I was somewhere like Alaska, then I would get a bigger gun and it wouldn't be smaller then a 44 mag. If your gun shoots them well, go far it.
