I bought the .500 to carry in the woods. There are times that I cant run a shoulder rig i.e. social outings with liberals.

I have very strong arms and wrists but dont want to blow the gun up or have the bullets jump their crimp.

What makes the 329PD back packer different from the night guard?

Can the 329pd 4 inch, 329pd back packer, or the night guard .44mag work with heavy loads?

I am also considering the Ruger Alaskan .454 casual. This seems too large as I also carry a .45 or 10mm Glock. Would the ballistics out of a .454 2 inch casual be better than a .44 mag 2 inch or doesnt it matter in a short barrel?
