If you've shot both how did .454 compare to a .44 mag?
I can't answer for him but my experience is if you are shooting full house 454 you want it is a single action frame with a grip designed to roll in your hand. I routinely carry either a S&W Governor or a Performance center Model 29 S&W, even loaded hot neither of them compare to the push back on a loaded 454. I have nothing bad to say about Taurus products but it would be a cold day in Hell before I would light up a full 454 round in a gun with that grip angle or that sticky a grip. I have used my buddies Freedom arms pistol few times for different reasons that is a beast,
