460 Rowland conversion or dedicated 44 mag revolver for wilderness?

[PogoJack]

About a $500 difference with the revolver costing more.

Don't mind the conversion but where do you get a holster for one?

Also don't want to carry into the woods something in condition 1 or condition 0.

What say you?

Revolver if you press it against the animal it will still fire.

The Kramer company makes a leather molded holster for 1911 with Rowland conversation.
IMO the 460 is a good choice for wilderness carry when 44 mag power is desirable.
Besides being lighter and having a thinner profile than a 44 magnum. The ability to carry and quickly reload is another feature to consider,as is the 9 round capacity.
I forget if the Kramer holster has a thumb break strap that goes under a cocked hammer. However it’s likely the Milt Sparks company could add one if this were a major consideration.

The 44 has an advantage in cartridge selection as one can buy or load the 300grn kieth it similar bullets. Elmer favored heavy slugs for dangerous animals. The Rowland can be loaded up to 230 grn.

Personally I own both guns and could go with either one depending on the day!
