>>643942*would still shoot it
My Ruger is a 7.5" bbl, pretty long. If I went 14", I'd just do aT/C Encore or Contender. Not bear defensive, but would do a 4" Redhawk in .460 crossdraw, so yeah.
Even my Eagle would not be ideal, though pic related day I had 1 (one) f2f due to a limp wrist. It would give great follow ups and is very controllable.
I still prefer muh wheelies!
