Howdy,
For no rational reason what so ever, I am seriously considering a .44. I have a couple of .38's and a .357 (all snubbies) but I feel an incompleteness that demands something big and heavy and cool. I am looking at a S&W 629 but I have a few questions:
1. How much recoil does .44 Special have? Comparable to shooting .357 out of a S&W 60? More like .038 Special?
2. I really like to looks of the 4 inch barrel. The 5 and 6 seem really long to me (snubbie snobbery). Will the 4 inch increase the recoil much on the magnum rounds?
* Note: as long as I can be "combat accurate", I'll be happy. I'm sure that the longer barrels would improve accuracy but I don't plan on competing.
3. Anything else I should know?
Thanks!
