Laser Sights for a Ruger 44 Mag?
 
Does any one make these?
Crimson Trace does not-yet.
Be well.

Doubt any laser sight would hold up long under 44 mag recoil...

My ruger sp101 357mag came with CT laser sites.......so i dont think its a issue of recoil.......more likely a issue of Models of guns and number of units sold

FWIW the small frame SP101 357mag .....love the gun but it has more recoil than any of my other pistols including 44mags and 45apcs

Last year I stalked a buck parallel to a dirt row. I figured he would come out onto the road about 25yrds down. I laid myself on the road and pointed my Marlin lever 44mag with a red dot sight where I thought that he'd end up. I kept looking through the red dot and lifting my head up out of the gun site - up and down up and down until I spotted the buck while my head was up. Needless to say once I went down to look through the red dot sight I couldn't see the red dot and couldn't see the buck. I guess the heat of the hunt got to me and it took too much time to change site contexts. The buck took off and I took off the red dot site.

FWIW, I am a complete newbee with regards to deer hunting so YMMV. Next year I am sticking to open sites.

BTW, yesterday I saw an episode of the Outdoor Channel's Best Defense TV show. They were talking to one of the instructors at the Blackwater Training Facility. Apparently, for their non-sniper rifle training their instructors only use open sites on their ARs. It must mean something that they do this.

oopps! I was thinking that the original post was referencing the Ruger 44mag carbine rifle. My mistake!

Iron sights rule the world. :wink:

That, and they don't blink out, go dim, break...or fail due to lack of resupply.

I use a "one ragged hole" iron sight on my Ruger .454:
