    That is frickin awesome man.

    Just hearing you say that made my ears feel like someone was shoving a pointy object into them. The only .44 I've ever fired had a 7 1/2 inch barrel and it still took my hearing for 3 days afterwords. ( I'm a idiot and failed to bring proper hearing protection along, but I did manage to bring 18 empty bottles of Killians Irish Red to explode.)

    It depends on where in the USA you are. In Texas, with a concealed carry permit, I can carry that weapon concealed on my person or in my vehicle.

    I pondered buying another desert eagle but opted against it since it is fairly useless other than to make my, ahem, confidence bigger.

    And yes, Im armed. I only have three weapons now. AK-47, 12 Guage Assault Shotgun, and now the .44 Special 2"

    I suggest a .22 target pistol. Fun toy and cheap ammo.

    Depends on how it is used.

    At close range a .22 can do alot of damage. Consider that the US Military M4 fires a .22 round but at much higher velocity. But the size of the round is the same. (.223)

    A .22 at close range will definately suffice.

    The .223 is pretty much just a beffed up .22 but when you actually put a .22 and a .223 together theres a big difference in the way it looks. Both still tumble around and shred your inards though.

    .223 bullet weighs roughly twice what your average .22 weighs and travels about 2 to 2 1/2 times faster and has way more effective range. Ballistically, the ONLY thing they have close to being in common is bullet diameter. Not a good comparison at all.

    How often do you shoot?
    If that was actually at 25 yards that's a pretty decent group in the belly. A couple of straglers but not that bad.

    25yards... I used to shoot Trap every Thursday night, and regularly got 23/25. Rifles and handguns used to be every weekend. It's been a few months since I shot last though.
