If I was forced to own only one revolver, this would be it. It is hard to beat as an all around, with proper loads.

It has been used on literally everything from elk to ground squirrels.


I concur. I have a 4" 44mag mountain gun that I'd put in that category too. My only complaint is that revolvers are LOUD to shoot, the versatility is unmatched though. 44 special shot shells all the way up to 300grain lead solids. It's about the perfect packing pistol (as Taffin would say) for the central to northern Rockies.
