[QUOTE=".30US, post: 1142684, member: 19108"] I've been hunting with a .444 handgun for about six years. I can't give you any advice on the "look" part, as I believe my .444 Contender is one of the ugliest to have existed. However, the .444 in a 14" barrel is manageable and reasonably accurate. Firing factory 265gr. Leverevolution ammo, I've never had a three shot group off a bag stray above 1.5" at 100 yards, nor go much below. It might could do better, but I consider that adequate and probably my limits. For a repeater, unless you were going to build on something like an old Mauser action, I would imagine the case rim would be a hassle to deal with. If you want something that will feed better in a repeater, look at the .450 Bushmaster or .458 SOCOM. [/QUOTE]
