I find it mostly depends on the gun.
Big-bore magnums have always been an SA-revolver-only proposition for me.
.357 in a K-frame is fine with the right grips. 10mm in a GP100 MC is my limit in DA revolvers.
My N-frame Smiths are non-magnums (.44 Special and .45 ACP). I have no desire to hot-rod them.
If I ever acquire another .44 magnum, it’ll be an SA. They handle recoil so much better for me.
