.44 mags are amazing guns.... I've got a few from 3" 629, 4" 629 Mtn Gun, to 4" 29-2 and 4" 29-3. As much as I love the guns, I personally don't carry anything nearly that big. (For CCW I prefer a 640-1, 642, PM-9, 3" 13, 3" 65, Colt Commander.)
But for home/RV defense use, I find ProLoad's 200 gr. Gold Dot "lite" .44 magnum defense load about perfect. It's a 200g r Gold Dot bullet moving at about 1070 fps. Very controllable, enjoyable, easy on the gun and the shooter... about the perfect .44 mag load in my view as I'm one who doesn't enjoy full-house .44 mag loads in a handgun.
