I too enjoyed his writings! In fact he is responsible for me buying and hording S&W model 24 spl handguns! I tell you he WAS onto something! Something about a 240 gr hardcast swc @ 1000 fps....
I enjoyed Skeeter's writings but never saw the great appeal of a 44 splc revolver. A 44 mag can do double duty IMHO
I have one each of the Lew Horton 3 inch round butt guns in 44 mag and 44 spl as well as the 4 inch sqare butt in 44 mag and 44 spl. The spl guns feel and handle better to me. While it is true the mag gets more power, 99.5 % of the time it is not required and I much favor the special for the reduced recoil and muzzle blast. YMMV.
