Great video and a very nice revolver. Congrats. x2! I have had good luck so far with the 44 mag. Just put it in the ear of hogs and they dont take a step. Well yeah. People get the same result with a .22 cal GAMO air rifle when they put it in the ear. Its the location, not the caliber.

Never shot a pig with it, but my 44 mag Super Redhawk was my go-to deer gun for years.

Have put several whitetail in the freezer with my T/C Encore .44 mag pistol. Cor-Bon and Double Tap ammo in 240 grain both shoot great and absolutely sledgehammer deer. Congrats on the new weapon!

Congrats on a fine pistol
I have an older 629 S&W PC 7 1/2 inch hunter package that is amazing. After getting it I sold the TC Contender 44 Mag barrel I had hunted with for years. 6 shot groups from the bench average 1.25 to 1.5 inches at 100 yards with several different choices of ammo. I have a 2-6 Bausch&Lomb handgun scope on it in QD rings, works great.
Get a good shoulder holster for it and carry will become much easier.

Very nice, I would say the thing is zeroed in for sure. You got me wanting to dust off my Contender and my 44 mag now.

I'm going to give the Ruger 44 Blackhawk a try from my bow stands this weekend on a pig.

That is a good looking gun . Didn't know they made a 3.75" barreled Bisley. Bet it is fun to shoot.

When I bush hog during the day, I carry a 357 with snake shot. When I mow at night, in the dark, I carry a Ruger Super Blackhawk in .44 mag with a 12 inch barrel for hogs. I've only shot a few hogs with it while mowing because I don't shoot unless I think it's an easy shot. For whatever reason, they pretty much ignore me when I'm on the tractor and it's dark outside. One time I drove right through the middle of about 30 of them. They just sort of parted as I passed them, and then after I shot the big boar, only the ones on that side of the tractor ran off. The others just ignored me and the shot, but instead of shooting another one, I paused and they had walked out of range by the time I realized that they where still there, and then they where gone when I turned the tractor around. I also have coyotes follow me at night just at the edge of my lights. It's too far for a shot with open sights, but tempting!!!

Looks like a nice hog leg and a whole lotta fun!
Been too long since ive shot mine. I dug out some brass a few months ago prepped it to load so I could shoot it some more and never got around to it. Going to have to get back on that. Mine's a plain jane Ruger Blackhawk 45 colt.
It's hell eatin em live
