I carry this no problem, .44 mag. Recoil is reasonable and I can shoot it one handed no problem, only down side its its loud as all get out.

Haha yea it jumped a lot when i got it, couldnt make accurate or timely follow up shots at first, but i got the hogue grip and that helps. Practice makes perfect too.

but the 1911 is just old school cool its like a old muscle car just timeless and i will never buy a high cap 1911 cause to me they are not a 1911

Ummm whatever you were trying to say....how about putting it in sentences and using some grammar and punctuation....

Otherwise it looks like you are sharing your tooth with your mom & 4th step dad (who is your brother) while living in her basement and sleeping in the same bed.....

I went to buy one. Had the cash, called my local dealer I deal with and he said he had one. Went in, looked right at it and said... nope...

It's F'ing huge... All the reviews say its slightly larger then a LCP... They need new tape messures I think...

Never shot it, picked it up though. It felt good but I was/am looking for pocket 9mm's. My pockets aint that damn big.

I'm looking for a 3" S&W 357mag, now that's a hand cannon when loaded with 125gr JHP's....much better at stopping goobers than a 44....

It's smaller than a Sig 239 and not in a pipsqueak 380 round....

Look at Kimbers sub compact 9mm....was to small for my hands & left rail marks on the web...but it might fit your little dick-beaters...

It's a fun one to shoot for sure, and it is lite as heck. But you will wake the dead with every trigger pull .

Not sure who lied in your ear, the trauma from a .44 far surpasses that of a .357. I own both and I can tell you the .357 doesn't inflict the same amount of damage as the .44 does. Large cal hand guns arent for everyone but trust me that .44 is a kill with every hit, I wish you could have seen the watermelons me and my buddy exploded with that beast (it even went clear through a 1' thick tree stump and left a nasty exit hole).

Just sayin

Dude really.....I mean really.....open mouth insert foot....remove all doubt from the rest of us...

How about the gunshots in HUMANS I've seen compared to shooting a watermelon...

If you don't know...a human and a watermelon are not exactly the same thing...sure they are close...but somehow the human has a few more organs, bones and such & a watermelon is not exactly like that on the inside...

I've seen a 44mag GSW to the heart...point blank and the guy lived a couple days...

Do some research, size is not always what you think it is...the 125gr 357 magnum out of a 4" barrel has more one shot stops than any other pistol caliber on the planet...

The 41 is a extremly under rated pistol, it's actually better at stopping humans than the 44 mag is...

I'd love to have a old S&W 41 mag...
