anybody think a 3 inch barreled 44 is worth fooling with??? It would be for a general toting in the woods and probably carry two snake loads, I might even try to kill a doe with it. I have a 4 inch 629 now and there are a couple of smith's that look cool to me the 2.75 inch model 69 combat magnum and the 629 deluxe with the nice wood grips, 3 inch barrel.
