That's a good problem to have! Anyone of them will be fun to take. I like revolvers so go with the .44

Life's just full of choices, ain't it. Since you've already got one with a revolver, I'd go with a contender.

I'd take the Contender...when tags NEED filled I always grab one with the longest reach and biggest thump!

well the only two that need first blood are the 460 and the 375jdj so it down to them.longest shot will only be about 65 yards. thinking i will go with the 460 with a 300gr cast bullet.

I would take the 460. It is always nice to get first blood with a new gun,but I also understand how hard it is to leave old trusty at home. Then again I kinda favor wheelguns.
