I'm a man of extremes, I have 2 handguns under 44 mag. I had an uncle who was one of those .44 Magnum guys (we all know someone like this), who attributed the .44 Magnum to mythical levels of power.
I shot his a couple 4 years ago, and saw no reason to get anything weaker. As I got older I decided more power isn't always better (I killed a coyote with a .300 Ultra WinMag once).
