[Lost My Cookies]

Hi all,

I'm glad I stumbled on to this site, because after what seems to have been years of talking about it, I finally bought a revolver. It's a new Taurus M44 6-1/2 inch. I'm hoping to take it hunting.

I'll be reading through the FAQs to see what's up. Thanks for having me!

Welcome aboard from NW Arkansas. Wow..jumped into the revolver game big time!!! I have a few 44 revolver's and reloading is the way to go for ammo.

I owned a Taurus Raging Bull in 44 for several years, a great revolver. The porting really helped with recoil.

Welcome from middle Utah, the 44 mag is a great hunting round. I liked and used flat nosed cast bullet, SWCs.

Welcome! Taurus M44, hmmm. That's a heck of an introduction to revolvers. I also have the 6 1/2 model as well as a 4". I don't hunt with either of mine, but they're loads of fun to shoot. The big Taurus revolvers just seem to soak up the recoil. They were both great right out of the box, but I sweetened the triggers up with spring kits from Galloway Precision and replaced the rubber grips with wood grips from Hogue.

Welcome to the forum from the sunshine state. A .44 magnum is a heck of a choice for a first revolver.
A .44 magnum has a pretty steep learning curve if you are just getting into shooting. Take the time to practice until you are confident that you have mastered it enough for a humane kill.

My first handgun and my first revolver were the same gun, a S&W Model 13 4" barrel 357 Magnum K-Frame, one of the last P&R examples. The next important thing I learned in this subject matter area was the utility of Pachmayr aftermarket grips!

I've never owned any Taurus revolvers but I think you're going to enjoy your M44!

I have an older M44, I believe is a 6 7/8" barrel, it is a 6 shot and I can easily hit a 10" steel plate at 100 yards with it.
It is a hoot to shoot and My favorite backup or even primary gun for hog hunting.
