There is a small number of enthusiasts who love these debates and testing studies. But the best gun for anyone is the one they feel most comfortable carrying, practicing with and shooting. If it can’t be drawn and used smoothly in a critical situation it might as well be a paperweight.
I hear that a 454 Ruger Super Redhawk makes a great paperweight. Nice and heavy to keep even a hurricane force wind from scattering your papers, and helpful if a bear decides to break into your office. I'm not sure the word "smooth" could be applied to using it.
