I think 98% of the sales of this gun will be based on that reason.
Which is as good as any reason!
I personally think the S&W model 29 with a six inch barrel is about the perfect compromise of power, recoil, and carrying. A Ruger super blackhawk is nice too. The redhawk is also nice but just a little too big and heavy.
Recoil doesn't really bother me that much but a .44 mag is about as much as I like.
Stay safe !
