44 Magnum Revolver FAQ
Is a 44 Magnum too much for a first revolver?
Full-power loads kick hard. Starting with 44 Special in the same gun is an easy way to build up to it.
What barrel length is best for a 44 Magnum?
Longer barrels, 6 inches and up, add weight that soaks up recoil and give a longer sight radius for hunting. Shorter barrels carry easier on the trail.
