It’s now the gun she hikes with in CO with a drop leg holster. Reg 44 mag rounds were PAINFUL to shoot even for me. We Spent lots of time with different guns, Trying to find the sweet spot of weight, power, and practical carry– ability. It’s not for routine use....it’s for crisis management. So these loads are a compromise. I’ll try some 240gr when I can find some but for now this works.
