Re: Advice on an EDC .44 magnum
I think I've written about this experience with a .44mag before. Friend and I were out shooting. He had a .44 mag with a wooden grip he had made. Offered that I try it and I said sure! He secondarily mentioned the loads were his and they are "a little hot".
I squeezed one off, marveled at my having successfully managed the recoil, then became aware of a stinging sensation in my palm. Upon investigation, the wooden grips had become several smaller pieces, all going their own way. I handed it back, with a "you're crazy!". But then, I had suspected that all along.

go big or go home....or, to the chiropractor to get your self realigned after carrying that howitzer for any extended period of time.

Re: Advice on an EDC .44 magnum
MY carry now is a steel 1911, so capacity isn't much different. The weight difference is less then you'd think. 48 oz. for the 4-⅝” barreled ruger, 39 oz. for 1911 without mag or ammo, comes up to 45 oz loaded.
I couldn't figure out how much a 454 round weights (whole round, not just the bullet), but honestly it just seems like a round that is hotter then I'd enjoy shooting.
That said the The 444 Multi by Tarurus weights only 28.00 oz, with a 4 in barrel, not sure how I feel about a titanium gun...Last edited by PAMedic=F|A=; November 16th, 2019 at 06:13 PM.

Re: Advice on an EDC .44 magnum
I think everyone’s covered the different models along with 44 special as a lower recoiling substitute. My only comment is get a double action revolver. Given what could be happening around you, I’d want to be able to shoot with one hand. And yes, you can cock and shoot with one hand a single action revolver but no where as easily as a double action.
