Mackay Sagebrush,
Glad you responded to my post. I was hoping you'd chime in.
Tonight I was taking my horseback riding lessons and the owner was asking about which handgun would be good to handle their coyote problem.
They take their horses on the overnight trail/camp rides as well have a small working farm.
They've lost some Phillies and colts to the coyotes as well as three English mastiff which are used to protect their live stock and help bring in extra income for breeding/sell the puppies.
They're not hand loader or hunters. They just barely squeak by making a living and have little disposable income.
They want some to be able to pack/carry during their trail rides as well as to use on the their farm.
I'm not sure I could recommend a 44mag revolver to them in good faith.
I believe it would be too expensive for them to shoot. Not to mention since they're not hunters/reloaders/shooter the recoil would be way too much for them.
Do you believe the 357mag would serve them better in this role & application?
Leo
