If you are just shooting at the range, the 44 special is THE ROUND TO USE. Put a big old 240 gr. lswc in a case with about 11 grains of 2400 and it is pure joy. Load up a 29 or a Super with magnum (earcasplitinloudenboomers) and have the 29s target grips sting you a few times or the Supers trigger guard rap you a few times and you will go back to the specials.

Just yesterday I put 50 rounds down range with my 44special Blackhawk and then followed up with another 50 from my 24-3. I went home happy and satisfied. When I cleaned up my revolvers I shot yesterday and put them up, I told the 29 Smith and the SuperBlackhawk "Maybe next time".
