Practical vs Power

[Chewbacca7685]

What about ammo cost differences?

Painful to say the least lol. A buck + per round for 44 mag or even special, 25 cents for 9 lol. That’s really not much of a consideration though. I currently have 2 9’s and my wife wants one for her birthday. Got plenty of vessels for that.

If you already have a few solid reliable point and shooters like a glock..get the wheel gun!!!

I'd rather have a Jennings than a glock.

One of my roughnecks is a Jennings. Want me to dm you his number?

Get the .44 mag with a 8” barrel & take up handgun hunting.

Have you ever shot a .44 mag revolver? Do you know of you would like shooting a .44 mag? Do you want to spend the money, shoot it, the discover you don't like shooting it the put it in the safe or try and sell it?

I say I want a .44 mag revolver just to say I have one. I really want to shoot one before I buy one to see if I like it. I have enough stuff sitting in closets because I bought it and didn't like it.

45 Colt over the 44 mag but you can shoot 44 specials in it as well. Shorter barrel 5 1/5-6" tops next would be just a 357.
Not gonna bother with the Block.
All IMO been there done that.

Start by getting the .44 revolver & working up a load.

Yes. It’s been a bunch of years but I’ve always been a fan of larger calibers. My brain just tries to tell me that it’s not practical but that doesn’t mean it’s not fun lol. And I think fun is going to be the point of this purchase. I haven’t gotten to have this kind of fun in years of living in the people’s republic of NJ and NY. The Glock is cool and all but it’s still lipstick on a pig.

I love big things of all kinds except women. No fat chicks.

Get the revolver, but get it in .357 Magnum. You'll enjoy it more.....

The revolver. You are right, the Glock is lipstick on a pig. Besides, you can get custom grips for the revolver with the Alamo etched on them later if you want.

Of those, the revolver.

Sounds like you have already made up your mind and I agree with you. The wheel gun will be more fun. IMO a shorter barrel is best.

I’ve seen a few people mention that so far. Besides trying to draw that thing from a holster (I was thinking cross draw but not like it’s gonna be my edc lol), why else get the shorter barrel?

Not a wheel gun guy. I don’t own any. But I’ve shot a bunch. Out of the 2 and what it represents.. I’d do the revolver. But shorter barrel. Long barrel looks goofy to me. That Glock looks cool. But a Glock isn’t something you make commemorative. A Glock is a CYA or tacticool gun. They are great for that. IMHO, only the revolver, 1911, lever action and shotgun hold honors in the commemorative department.

I carry my 6"-10" in a crossdraw holster with no problems. Other than ease of draw, the only reason I can think of for a shorter barrel would be balance or muzzle weight. But the muzzle weight can help with muzzle flip too, so it kind of cancles each other. I personally don't have a problem with longer barrels unless it is a very heavy gun to begin with. Like the Remington BP pistols with a long barrel.
