Interesting. I didn't know the history of the cartridge.
I posted a thread on what round I should use in my new 44mag a month ago. I went with the blue tipped safety slugs

That is a beautiful gun. My pants just got tight.

That's a nice Taurus; how does it match up accuracy wise with its Smith and Wesson cousin?

I used to like those Glassier Safety Slugs. Read the stories about 1 shot stops. Reduced ricochets, shallow penetration in various media. So I bought some for the missus for her S&W 629 for Home defense.
Took them out in my Ruger Redhawk after 1 year of resting peacefully and fired them into an old waterheater at 35 paces. I had 4 thru and thru,1 dented the far side and 1 splattered on the front. Maybe I had a bad lot, but don't believe every thing you read.
