Good evening everyone, I am new here and new to shooting!! I'm a 24 years old and just getting into shooting now. I had a grandfather who loved guns and an uncle who was a gun smith but unfortunately they both passed when I was younger. Well, it runs in my blood and now i'm looking into getting into the sport/hobby.
It's been a very long time since I shot a gun and i'm looking for some feed back. I am a stocky, strong man and looking into buying my first gun as a .44 mag more particular, Redhawk with 5.5 barrel. I first plan to shoot .44 specials to get a feel/plink before loading the .44 mag ammo. Since ammo can be a little on the higher end with cost, and I am the type of person to know the IN and OUT of everything, I want to start reloading as well.
I plan on target practicing and carrying it with me when I go hiking in the deep woods in NH/Vermont/Maine.
P.S. I chose the RH for it's reputable reliability, and it's ability to withstand hot loads if needed. And of course, for some forsaken reason I enjoy the looks of the Redhawk over the SW 629.
