Hey all.

My birthday is on Monday. I talked myself into a .44 or .41 Magnum revolver. I now it is big but they have been calling to me.

Before I go off and order one I figure I would see if anyone has anything they want to get rid of.

So anyone have any interesting.44 Magnum 3" Revolvers?

I had a "3 Taurus 5 shot .44 magnum. It was painful to shoot as a magnum so I traded it towards something else. Why "3 ? Do you have difficulty clearing a draw?
I have a 3" 686+ that I am very happy with. I've had several wrist and an elbow surgery so I have had some difficulty clearing a draw with 4 & 5 inch barrels. That last little bit just seems to catch. I only buy low and mid ride holsters now.

3" for better concealability. It is NYS after all.

@kev74 you have anything you can take a picture of that next to for size comparison? Say like a .38 or an autoloader?

No shit, my birthday is on Monday too. 7/22/62. A nice 3” .44 is an excellent choice to get yourself for a B-day gift.

I have a taurus 357..6 shot..snubby I carry on my ankle comfortably. I like the 44 mag but , speaking for myself, unless your wear hearing protection in the field,it will ring the hell out of your ears. Wearing ear protection when hunting sort of puts the odds against one. I shot one and after 3 rounds my ears rang for 3 days.

@Tinman

I checked it out last night online. It looks like a great shooter and carry gun. A little less expensive than a 629 as well. It only has five rounds but that doesn't really matter to me. Gives me something to think about. Thanks for the suggestion.

I like mine. Comfortable to carry and comforting in the woods...
