I've been on a revolver kick for a while now. I'm interested in the possibility of a .44 magnum revolver with a no-more-than three inch barrel that is fairly compact for field and possibly concealed carry. What options exist?
The four-inch Redhawk is still massive, as is the SRH Alaskan; I don't consider either "compact." I'm not that familiar with Smith & Wessons, but the Mountain Gun seems more slim, albeit with a four-inch barrel. I don't like internal locks. I wish Ruger would offer a three-inch, five-shot .44 built on the GP100 frame.
Anyway, that's what I'm interested in. Input welcome.
