    I'd say you provided one in post #12, where you described that lowlife that unfortunately got the drop on you.

    The Ruger is super smooth for me even at rapid fire.
    I also have a 357 Magnum and a 44 magnum....A 9mm and a 45..
    The 44 is a little large to carry on the road..lol!...Yea,I'm a gun addict!..

    Yep, a gun wouldn't have made that situation any better unless I was Bob Munden.

    All four barrels don't go off at once.

    What scares me is the four difference firing mechanisms on that gun. That's a lot of extra moving parts that can fail.

    .44 Magnum is fun as hell to shoot. Just a little hard on the ears and wrists to shoot 40 or 50 rounds in an afternoon. My next gun is gonna be a polished stainless steel 1911 in .45ACP

    And that's the key with a firearm.

    A handgun is no different than gloves or any other tool. It has to FIT you. If it doesn't, you won't shoot well with it.

    Nice choice. A Colt series 70 or a Springfield Mil-Spec would fit that bill nicely.
