OK had the Astra snub for 2 weeks now and shot 75 rounds of assorted mag ammo and 30 rounds of special. Magnum is borderline a bit much. 44 special is VERY mild. So it's a bit of a quagmire the gun is just too big and heavy just to carry special loads and I don't see Magnum as being practical. Going to try playing with some hand loading something like a really hot special (a Dirty Harry "light special ") might be just right. But still will have to see what speeds that will be. Got to find something over 1000 fps thats manageable or might as well stay with my 45 xds.
