The 44mag doesn't bother me at all in the recoil department. Even when shooting the 300gr loads. Could do it all day long. I LOVE the 45 COLT but also interested in going bigger. I would use it as a field back up and occassionally primary gun for hogs.

For the T/C I was leaning toward the 309 JDJ or 6.8..or.....maybe I need two more barrels lol.
