Rockwolf66 buy a Ruger Super Redhawk, they are very fun to shoot. Load but fun. Fit a Nikon scope on it and you've got an accurate handgun with enough power to crack an engine block in one shot.
The one I own is a 9.5" barrel model, so it is unwieldly. Suggest finding something a little shorter unless you plan to hunt with it.
What is this Marlin .44 Magnum you speak of? A nice gun my dad has is a Ruger Deerstalker in .44 Magnum. It loads and shoots like a shotgun and it's nice to shoot.
