Thanks again guys. Sounds to me like the 44 mag is the gun of choice. I do reload everything I shoot so cost for shooting is only an arm instead of an arm and a leg. Its the start of reloading a new caliber that costs. I will be going out this weekend to look at some pistols and maybe test fire a few to help me make up my mind. There is only one shop near West Virginia that I know of that will let me test fire before I buy. Trouble is the shop is in Maryland and I am in Wv. He cant sell me a pistol. If anyone knows of any shops in Wv. that does this type of thing could you let me know. Thanks again for all the help and have a good day.
