My favorite .44 Special is a 329PD. It is uncomfortable to shoot with .44 Magnum loads, but great with .44 Special level loads.

I have had 4" 625 and 629 MGs and found the 625 easier to shoot with heavy loads.



Well I’ll be handloading for it, so will cook up some reduced loads for shooting fun, and make up some heavy stuff for pig and backpacking.
I’ll check out the 625 as well as the suggested Mountain gun, which if memory serves me, is a pretty light revolver, made to carry.


N-Frame Mountain Guns are quite a bit heavier and larger than the 329PD. Lots of people have put the cushioned grips from a 460 on the 329PD to help handle the recoil.
