So, which is the better *defensive* handgun, a S&W .357 mag fitted
with
laser grips or a Glock auto?
.357 mag revolver or a .44 mag revolver.
Simple, effective and never break down.
"I know what you're thinkin', punk. You're thinkin', did he fire six
shots or only five? And to tell you the truth, I forgot myself in all
this excitement. But bein' this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful
handgun in the world, and it'll blow your head clean off, you could ask
yourself a question. Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?"

Great line, great delivery, but inaccurate. The .454 Casull, for one.
was and is "more powerful."


Not sure, but I don't think that load existed at the time the movie was
made.



Dick Casull developed the .454 Casull in 1957 and announced it in 1959 in
Guns and Ammo magazine. If I'm on your "holiday shopping list," I'd like a
454 wheelgun from Freedom Arms.


I stand corrected!
