A 25 ounce 44 mag sounded like just the ticket when I was shopping for a backcountry carry gun and it is hardly noticed in the Diamond D guides choice holster I got to carry it in. I have spoke with some of the guys at Jays Sporting goods in Gaylord and they thought going to the 300 Grain bullets would slow the recoil impulse and eliminate the crimp jump. I was just hoping there might have been someone here that either had the same gun and or experienced the same issue and had an answer. I appreciate all the feedback and hope to hear some more tricks to try. I really like the gun and would rather not have to send it down the road but a single shot backup gun is not what I was looking for.
