BOOM
veitnamcam and BRADS like this.It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
Rule 5: Check your firing zone
Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

Never used a 44 , but a 30/30 is worth looking at ,Open sights still smack a deer or pig out to 150 .

Marlin 3030 was mine - a handy little shooter. I'm sad I sold it.
NOBODY IS PERFECT - but if you're from Yorkshire you're pretty close

Mate runs a rossi single shot in 357mag cut down to i would guess probably not legal and uses mag and 38 special. 38s very quiet but not much knock down.
Can run 44 special in 44mag?

If you cant suppress(tho can't see why other than funds ) 44 mag with specials or 357mag with 38 specials. But then its pretty much a bail gun only. But you can always have some magnum in ya pocket .

12g shotty, slugs for the bail up and buckshot when waiting on the crossing tracks. When it's broken you always know it's safe. Also liked the 3o3 Jungle carbine, small and you could lock the bolt on an empty chamber, handy when getting thru the tight stuff.
