Well congrats on admiting that! Most won't----
If you can afford the ammo---PRACTICE
If not as mentioned- start with a lesser caliber

It sounds to me like right now that 44 Mag is simply too much gun for you. Why not shoot something like a .38 Special or .357 Mag and work on your grip and stance? Learn to be a safe and accurate handgun shooter before you go for the power. You can't make up for poor shooting with a bigger round.

Did you know a .44 magnum revolver will chamber and fire the much easier to handle .44 special round?It does,and its a great caliber with very little kick,less than even a .357 with the right round.

It's my grandpas gun and he won't make changes to it or shoot 44 special out of it and the other gun he has that is legal to take hunting is a 22 mag witch would be ok for lions but for bears I question so ?

I was told otherworld on this forum even

[deadeye199824]

I'll try to use leather gloves next time

[deadeye199824]

I'll tell you guys when I'll go to the shooting range

[deadeye199824]

I went to the shooting range the other day and I tried the leather gloves and it helped a little and I found out that last time i didnt hit paper and this time I would of put someone in a world of hurt in the chest if they were in fround of me. My pattern was in a 6-10 in circle.

Keep practicing and discuss the .44 special ammo with the firearm owner again. The "special" ammo shouldn't have any ill effects on the firearm.

background on the .44 special: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.44_special Notice the part about how Mr. Keith developed the .44 magnum from the .44 special.
