[QUOTE="NINEROUND, post: 2036723, member: 17429"] From personal experience auditory exclusion is real. I'd go with the .357/.38 for all the reasons you mentioned above. A .44 will do you fine for the same purposes, however the .357 has more versatility, in my opinion. Several ammo companies make heavy for caliber .357 loads for hunting, and I would say these would be the way to go if hogs were imminent...44 mag/special was too much In the all steel model 29 4" I had a long time ago. Scraped may hand raw after a few cylinders full. Now, my preference is for the longer barrels for strictly hunting guns. ymmv. [/QUOTE]
