Hello everyone, I have had two expiriences shooting the .44 mag. The first time was in a 7-9 inch Ruger blackhawk or superblackhawk not sure and no clue what the loads where. I instantly fell in love with this caliber and planned it to be my next purchace. The next time was a very different expirience. I shot a 7ish inch barreled redhawk. I had a heck of a time controlling my shots with 180gr rem ammo and left the range with a sore web on my shooting hand and was very turned off.
I am now in the market for a new trail gun to take with me while pig and blackbear hunting in California. I have narrowed it down after months of research to a 4" gp100 and a 4" .44 magnum redhawk(the new model). I thought about a single action after my first time shooting one, but i just dont feel comfortable not having a double action incase of tweekers or a pissed of bear or boar. My question is what would you guys get if you where in my shoes? I know I always have the option of getting a shooting glove.
