Anyone CC a .44 mag?

[686 Shooter]

I have a 3" barrel model 29, if I could find a good holster for it, I would carry it. Right now it just part of the late night welcoming committee.

I have CC'd my 4" 329pd a few times in a jackass shoulder rig I got from the classifieds. Picked up a 3" 629 trailboss but I cant seem to get comfortable with it after having the 329. I carry it with light rounds and I am very comfortable with it. I guess the trail boss will probably make its way to the classifieds as the 329 spoiled me too much.

I love my 329 PD also. Not a lot of fun to shoot full power loads from but shooting 240 gr. SWC over 8gr. of Unique is fun and can do to all day.

My uncle broke his Colt .357 a few years back and had to resort to using his Dan Wesson .44mag for CC. Unfortunately he passed 2 years ago, before having the Colt fixed, and he carried that effing cannon for the last year of his life. They are both in my box of fun now, Colt as he left it. I enjoy shooting the .44 but could never conceal it or see myself utilizing it as a carry gun. I usually carry a SP101 snubby in .357 IWB, so for that matter I couldn't even see myself carrying his old Colt if I ever have it repaired, just too big for comfort.

I have a Ruger Alaskan I carry, shoulder rig, rides nice, and invisible with a jacket or sport coat. 44 mag with 300gr hard cast loads, or I can load down some soft shooting 200 grain soft cast loads.

As for killing the rest of the town behind the target.... some of you watch too much TV.

Bull$hit, I have had .44mag JHPs blow thru deer at 60yards after breaking both front legs and liquifying organs.

I have a .44 Mag in a Taurus Raging Bull series. IMO, it is a lot of gun to carry. Feels like I have a ten pound weight on my hip. I agree that follow up shots or "Double-taps" are somewhat difficult with this weapon, heavy recoil, and loud as hell. Plus I fear with that much gun even with HP's loaded there is a high possibility of complete pass through on the BG's and possibly striking a bystander if I had to use it.

But it does look Bad-A$$ when I do at times carry it.

I once carried my Draco AK-47 pistol on a strap hung from my shoulder in an AM-PM. It was under my leather trench coat.

Without saying, it made the cashier a little edgy.

Ive carried my S&W 29-2 8 3/8 inch barrel in a shoulder holster . . . . . . . it isnt practical but I did it cause I could (it was a curiosity thing). wear a longer coat though Im 6-4 and 280 lbs and the barrel still hung out from under my coat

The way I figure anyone that would cc a 44 mag would probably have it loaded with 44 specials anyway. So why not cc a gun chambered in 44 special? I do.

44 mag is not a practical carry round in my opinion for a couple of reasons.

Also I would hate to explain to a prosecutor why I'm carrying a 44 magnum for protection. .

To save ammo, avoid undue suffering and prevent stress on the emergency medical system.

On rare occasions I cc a 44 mag Taurus Tracker. Not the best concealable gun but not a huge deal.
