If you are not intending on reloading, stick with the .44
If you decide to take up reloading go with the .454.
I have a Gary Reeder .454 and find the full house 240 grain factory loads at 1900 fps to be a bit much out of the light handgun.
I load 45LC 240 grains at 1450 fps or just a little more than .44 mag velocity and it is much more pleasurable to shoot and does a fine job on Deer and hogs

of the ones listed 44, but not in the contender. I had one in a 10" gun and with full power loads it was raunchy, and i shoot a 475 linebaugh, so i aint real recoil shy. That said, i like a 45 convertible, or for more power the linebaugh the best. but a 44 is nice too.Last edited by RJH1; 10-11-2018, 04:11 PM.

I'm really glad I picked it. However, if I didn't reload I might look at other calibers.

Agree with the hard cast at mild velocities. I shot a deer in the chest with a 250gr Keith loaded to 1200fps and it went lengthwise through the deer and exited out the back leg. Dropped it where it stood
