Have you given any thought to the 329PD ... a light weight .44 magnum .... but do not use .44 magnum ammunition. Use .44 Special ammunition and it is less recoil than a .357 magnum with a bigger, heavier bullet having the ballistics of a .357 magnum. Buffalo Bore Heavy .44 Special ammunition is a good load with 180 grain JHP, or 255 grain Keith, I hear the 329PD is for carrying a lot, but only shooting a little. The 329PD is one of my CCW revolvers and I shoot it a lot using reloads that are intended to do about what a 200 grain speer Gold Dot does. It does what I need when I go into the 'Outback' hiking, or fishing.
