Well Eremicus,
You're probably right on the backup carry issue... But I figured it's a good excuse to buy a nice bigbore wheel gun...:)
I've been eyeing the Redhawk 45 Colt 5.5 stainless, and it looks like a very nice piece.
Is the 45 Colt softer on recoil because of a lower pressure load compared to the 44.mag? I love Smith and Wesson, and have some very nice .357's with wondeful triggers, but I'm worried about the strength of S&W with the bigger caliburs. But, the bad trigger on a Redhawk bothers me.
What does a trigger job cost?, and can the 45 Colt really be loaded to rival the 44. mag when it comes to dangerous critters?
