2022年8月6日 · As someone who has a lot of experience shooting full bore .44 Magnum loads (for animal protection and hunting) but is interested in the self-defense aspects of carrying such a firearm as the S&W Performance Center 629 2.6" as a concealed carry arm the .44 Special +P loads or .44 Magnum loads specifically designed and loaded for self-defense ...

2013年2月6日 · I am curious as to how these two cartridges compare for self defense purposes. The 44 Special standard SD load appears to be 180 or 200 grains and the same type load for 41 Magnum looks to be 210 grain. Both the velocity and energy seem to be greater with the 41 Magnum in comparable 44 Special loads.

But we're not starting a "bear thread" here. Take your 44 Magnum to the range, stoke it with full house .44 Magnum loads, and play Dirty Harry.

2022年9月1日 · The take away there needs to be that the .44 Magnum won’t perform any better in a concealed carry self defense role when it comes to terminal ballistics, follow up shots will however be slower, and for many folks the increased recoil of .44 Mag versus .44 Special in a concealed carry friendly revolver will equate to a lot less practical and ...

2021年8月5日 · Any 240 gr 44mag ammo will suffice. You’ll find that the hyper boutique loads will significantly increase your time getting two shots off accurately in less than 3 seconds. Remember that you’re not hunting: self defense against a grizzly occurs at …

2013年5月9日 · Congratulations on your revolver, and Welcome to the Forum! I am a fan of the .44 Magnum (not as big a fan of the recoil any more!), it is a versatile and accurate round. There is a plethora of choices out there. For home defense and self defense I like a .44 Special 200-240 grain hollow point.

2020年10月7日 · Hi. I'm new with guns and am going to buy a SW 44 magnum revolver for target and self-defense. Question: Are all SW 44 magnum revolvers able to shoot: ALL 44 magnum, 44 special and 44+P special rounds
