[QUOTE="rain4est, post: 1919646, member: 51396"] The titanium 44 is lighter and, therefore, rarely is left at home on most of my backpacking hunts. It does not kick as much with the somewhat mellower ammo (Underwood 220 gr) compared to the bigger stuff (300-330+ gr.). I practice enough to be quick & proficient. Although I am faster on follow-ups with my 9mm & 10mm, I want that 1st & 2nd round to hit hard. Don't get me wrong - I do not feel overly confident with the knock-down power of the 44 mag & would not hunt brown bears with it. It is similar to a 30-30, which isn't much for a brown bear. I much prefer a 460 Weatherby for hunting them ;) (with 8,000 foot-pounds at the muzzle 👍). [/QUOTE]
