I'm a wheel-gun fan. I like my Police Positive and Blackhawk .357 for plinking. The m29 is more of a business gun, for the coming apocalypse. Reminds me I need to load up some ammo for it.
Here in BC, a .357 and 10Mm are the bottom line for critter defences for those who challenge the system and are accepted.
I would rather have a higher capacity auto in 10MM than attempt to rely upon a .357 with a bear attack.
I'd rather have the .44 that either of the others, and in my meager experience with one, I would rather have a .500 S&W 5 1/2" magnum than the .44. The one I shot did very well and hitting 2 1/2" rocks at 50 yards was easy. It kicked less than my .44 loaded with 300gr. and with the round-butt grips I had on it that day.
My normal grips on the .44 make it easy to shoot.
