There is nothing wrong with the big bore hand cannons I have a 6in smith 629 in 44 mag love the gun but I bet I can at least get 3 to 1 off on my 10 compared to the 44. Running the 10 near 41mag ballistics I think its a pretty good balance between power and controlability There are set more superior hand cannons out there but I like the balance the 10 gives me.
