As far as accuracy with magnum loads, it is hard to imagine a scenario where more than 2-4 well aimed shots would not be enough to neutralize most any threat I am likely to face, but yeah, I guess methies sometimes travel in packs. Good thing I've got 6 fast ones and a few backups in the pocket. CB

I agree. I think the N frame 625 or 629 Mountain Guns in either .45 Colt or .44 Mag are the MOST versatile of the big bore revolvers. They are easily carried, and deliver the power on command............
