Tell me more about your ultra-light 44mag. I am looking for a light weight 44mag to carry on a belt when hunting with a long gun. My Ruger Bisley Hunter does great for handgun hunting but it is too heavy to carry all day on my belt or with another gun.

The Taurus UL might be too much of a good thing at only 28ozs. How does it shoot? You must have to hold it down hard to stay on target. How hard was it to sight in? What is your best 50 yard group? Or is 25 yards a better range for this gun?

Do you feel that you could hit something running at you with it? Or is more weight needed to shoot well when under stress. Taurus also makes the 4" Tracker model at 34ozs and the SS model weighs 45ozs, I think.
