I have CC'd my 4" 329pd a few times in a jackass shoulder rig I got from the classifieds. Picked up a 3" 629 trailboss but I cant seem to get comfortable with it after having the 329. I carry it with light rounds and I am very comfortable with it. I guess the trail boss will probably make its way to the classifieds as the 329 spoiled me too much.
Bull$hit, I have had .44mag JHPs blow thru deer at 60yards after breaking both front legs and liquifying organs.I have a Ruger Alaskan I carry, shoulder rig, rides nice, and invisible with a jacket or sport coat. 44 mag with 300gr hard cast loads, or I can load down some soft shooting 200 grain soft cast loads.
As for killing the rest of the town behind the target.... some of you watch too much TV.
44 mag is not a practical carry round in my opinion for a couple of reasons.
Also I would hate to explain to a prosecutor why I'm carrying a 44 magnum for protection. .
