The SBH is a hunter's piece built to let handloaders use every bit of the 44 Mag's versatility. It's heavy and it will need a trigger job.

The M-21 is a carry gun. It has fixed sights zeroed for a 240-gr. slug at 750 fps. You can run that bullet to 1,200 fps, but it will kick like a mule and won't shoot to the sights if you do. Get it if you want a serious big-bore carry gun and you have the discipline to stick to one load.

A S&W 44 Mag or Ruger 44 Special with adjustable sights would split the difference nicely.
