Great article, you missed the 5 shooter (ha).
Not exactly what I would suggest for the “faint of heart” although “not in the every day conceal category” my go to for hunting is the XVR 460 S&W! Why S&W decided to go with double action is beyond me. The X frame is perfect for this “beast” the report is an attention getter. All the members of the hunt club know when I send one. Set a AimPoint 9000SC on top……… good to go 100+ yards.
