I've been thinking about getting a .44 Magnum just for the fun of it. I have no serious purpose for one, just want one to play around with. What .44 Magnum do you think is the most fun?
If money is not the issue, go with FA in 44 magnum.
If you reload, and do not need full power loads all the time, I would go with S&W 629 Classic DX. Every DX revolver is tested, and every one will make 1.5 inch at 50 yds, if I remembered correctly.
If you are going to shoot mostly factory loaded, or heavy loaded ammo, look for Super Redhawk, Redhawk, Super Blackhawk with standard grip or Bisley. I love Bisley, but Super Redhawk is the king if you want to shoot a lot with top loads.
Last but not least: be aware that short barreled and lighter revolver could be brutal on your hands with top loads. If you are not familiar with some of the revolvers we mentioned, try to fire some with factory loads before making decision. You might end up spending your hard earned cash, just to realize that revolver you purchased is not what you wanted.
Read carefully mooninpisces post, he told you all you need to know.
My personal preference would be now 44 Special S&W 24 or 624, -3 or -4, with 6" or 6.5" barrel. Not 44 Magnum, but 250 grains bullet at 1100-1200 fps is more than enough.
