heres a lil insight on what "caliber" of wheel gun to buy....................

after watching literally THE MOST ACCURATE AND FASTEST SHOOTER on the planet yesterday........ROB LEATHEAM(aka MR SPRINGFIELD) go thru his stages on "amoeba" targets(politically correct)...................guess what the hell he was shooting??????????????????????


any takers?????????????????


a FREEKING 1911 SPRINGFIELD IN FREEKING 9mm!!!!!

holy bat balls batman............an enemic puny whimpy round!


why? POOR-KAY??????

because its easy on the wrist and wayyyyyyyyyyyyy more contollable!

so to answer your question..............anything you CAN CONTROL!

and i can tell you from doing it a long damn time NOJUAN can shoot a .44 mag all day everyday to get to "shootist level" without either magna porting the barrel or shooting .44 specials! and thats a FACT JACK!

so if yer gonna be a shootist load down a .357 to .38. load down a .41 mag to .41 special, load down a .44 mag to .44 special.

shooting straight on at targets regardless the range is fine and dandy. shoot at angles up and down, side to side, thru giant plastic barrels where you only see maybe one of three targets, or targets lined side to side with "amoebas" behind them you have to hit and you will figure it out real quick it AINT WHAT YOU EXPECTED!

.38 super is a real popular "race gun" cartridge also. once again "CONTROL".

once agin watch you tube. pick yer flavor of caliber and watch average guys/girls try to plant stainless or blue gun frames in their foreheads. be attentive to what happens to their wrists and think real hard about shooting one all day long.

since im "old and in the way" and have been reading shooting articles a long time, you will see old school writers who were on the cutting edge of magnum technology years ago when they were younger complain about damage......"carpal tunnel" done to their wrists from extensive magnum shooting over the years.
