The 44mag do you really need anything else?

not saying hve just the 44 what im saying is the 44 will do anything the others will with in reason. It has taken everything on the planet yes i know you can do it with a 22 also. IF thats a big if i only had one handgun i think it would be the 44.

Well that kind of changes things if you're looking for one gun.  If you're looking for one "non-rimfire" handgun, I'd be right there with you with the 44mag.  If you're talking about what one handgun would I pick if I absolutely had to only have one pistol of any kind for the rest of my life, I'd be going with a 22lr because like you said it's done everything and it's pretty easy to have a life supply of ammo in an ammo can.

Need anything else? Probably not. Love my .500 smith and .454's though.

44MAG is OK for smaller big game, but I still prefer the 375JDJ as it really will do them all.

I like it because I can find ammo anywhere, can reload it, can cast for it, make shot shells for it, use it in my Marlin rifle, can be used in a short concealable revolver, or a long revolver with a scope.  Very versatible.  It truely is a great round.  Second would probably be the 45 LC.  357 is great, but not as good a hunting round for larger game.
