What do you think about .44 magnums?

Smallest of the true hand cannons. Bear gun.

Put a .44 special thru one, and you'll wonder why you waited. Fun on a bun!

I think all guns are fucking stupid and need to be banned

You better fire a .44mag round first.

that's the only reason I want one, I have a cool uncle who let me shoot his and the kick was WAY less than movies and vidya had trained me to expect lol

Are you sure you weren't shooting a .44 Special round instead of a hot .44 mag round? World of difference.

44 magnum isn't that crazy. Most common .44 magnums aren't insanely painful to shoot. Some stout +P+ shit is, but if you're shooting that you know what you're getting into.

.454, .460, .500S&W, that's real shit.

well I'm not actually sure though he and the rest of the family called it "the magnum", and I was younger but it felt like a lot more kick than any of the basic bitch 9mm or 556 I've fired

What do you think about .44 magnums?

You should have bought a .45 magnum instead.

based and .460 pilled

dumbest gun ever made.
Its the truck nuts of the gun world.

anything over 40 is for LARPers

I havent shot one. I shot a small calibre rifle when I was young though, felt smooth and I missed a couple of "bullseye shots"

ignorant and retarded post, that's amazing.

It’s a very punishing handgun. You better hit your target with the first round because follow up shots are slow. I’ll stay with my .45 ACP, thank you. A 230 grain jacketed hollow point puts anyone down.

I'm not hunting humans, I want a speed loader that can take like 5 of these wadd cutters. I'm not trying to blow up my hand with super high pressure rounds. I am not dirty harry or my dog trying to tell me what to do. If anything cutting magnum cases down is a lot cheaper than buying specials.

Then by all means go for it.

Shoulder holster is the only way to go with a .44
Ruger Redhawk Master Race checking in.

My dog tries to tell me what to do but I just ignore her.

God that's so autistic and retarded.

wastes time on a .44 literally only because he thinks the name is cool

loads it weak as shit, negating any theoretical advantage

cuts cases down when what you need to do is just load it less, case length doesn't matter what the fuck are you talking about nigger

It's so stupid I almost doubt you even own a gun, but it's so fuddtastic I'm almost certain you do and really do waste time trimming .44 magnum cases down to .44 special length when all you had to do was load less powder. Holy fuck.

Why would you ever consider shooting a wad cutter??
a) They gum up the grooves in your barrel, even if you use beeswax
b) They can't be pushed to +P velocities without melting the lead (which causes imbalance)
c) They don't disperse much of their energy on target.
Dudes, get with the program - lighter, faster, copper jacket loads are the key in large bores, the kinetic energy transfer is what you're after.

Not the anon you're castigating (appropriately), but my daily carry is a Bulldog with .44 +P JHP loads.
If I can't hit the dipshit I'm shooting at with 5 rounds, then I deserve to be killed.

It's old fudd shit. He wants wadcutters because that's what retards who spout shit like "eyuupp, that .22 will bounce around in the body, deadliest round there is!" think is good.

Basically wadcutters were the G2 RIP rounds of the 1960s.

I'm so old I used to actually cast my own wad cutters from wheel balancing weights I'd get at the local service station.
I'd only load them up with the lightest velocity, however, to keep them from shredding.
They'd still make a mess of my barrels, which is why I'd always shoot a couple of hot jacketed rounds at the end of practice to clean things up a bit.

Just offhand wondering how many young dudes today are into shooting and reloading at all?
I'll be it's like fly-tying, an old fuckers hobby for fossils like me.

If I can't hit the dipshit I'm shooting at with 5 rounds, then I deserve to be killed.

Not my speed but you're carrying a .44 magnum and loading it with some real ass rounds. That's what .44 magnum is for. Totally valid.

I wish I had a 44 magnum that fired small logs of shit. I would put it in my mouth and pull the trigger.

shooting

Loads.

reloading

Not as many. A lot of people now are into tacticool, where it doesn't make much sense to reload. Not worth your time generally to reload 5.56 or 9mm.

Logfag, you’re just so unnecessary. You’ve no reason to stay but here you are anyway.

No, a Charter Arms Bulldog is a .44 Special.
I like the big fat bullet theory.
Kind of like the old Civil War .50 cal bullets - slow but fucking lethal if they hit any part of you.
The US Army and their "small and fast is better" is fine for rifles, but for handguns it seems like they went for number of rounds vs. force delivered.
I also hunt deer with a 12 ga rifled slug, which is the same general idea. It doesn't just wound them, it knocks their ass down and they don't run away afterward.

If you price out reloading your own bullets vs. buying new, it makes sense.
When I was a young man (20-28) I used to shoot about 2000 rounds a month (yes, that sounds like an insane amount, but I was totally into shooting) and I would not only reload all my own handgun ammo, but also my shotgun ammo too.
I didn't have enough money to buy new, but I could sit at night and just reload cases and have a good ol' time.
This was back before the Internet (79-88 in my case), and so there wasn't much else to do with your time if you didn't have kids, and were tired of drinking at the clubs.

worst hunter in the world award, and he self-reported LMAO

...what makes you think that? 12 gauge slugs are totally normal for hunting. Are you just nogunz or braindamaged or something?

Rifled Slugs were mandated for hunting in the State where I grew up, nimrod.
It's also mandated in several other states.
Google it, or use your ChatGPT fag buddy to see where.
God damn I hate stupid children so fucking much.

Many states only allow shotguns for deer hunting.
