I read through a ton of old posts and have to say I am amazed at the knowledge contained in this site.
Now that you are all smiling, I am looking for a revolver in 44 magnum. I figure ruger is good as I have some of their revolvers and have enjoyed them. I am leaning towards stainles steel and probably single action.
After reading way too many posts I found one or two that said the double action redhawk was stronger than the blackhawk design, without going into specifics. From what I understand the cylinder should be the biggest problem area.
I do not currently reload, but that is something that will change this year. I have a lever action marlin, so I have already started accumalating brass.
Is there a noticable difference between the strength of the double action and the single action? And if so, what does it take to notice this difference?
The gun will be in 44 magnum as I just want one to match my marlin. I know in some of the more stout cartridges you could run into problems, but will the 44 magnum prove to be a problem?
