4" vs. 3" .44 Magnum
Monday, October 05, 2020, 16:04

Any discernable difference between a 4" .44 magnum and the 3" version, other than the 1" difference in barrel length and a bit more recoil? I have a 4" Model 29 and don't know if a 3" is worth the cost just to get an inch shorter barrel. Maybe a bit easier to carry?? Would be used for backpacking/camping. 240-255 grain hard cast ammo.
