I'll have to side with those that for glocks. While I think a 1911 looks better and sometimes even feels better in the hand, my compact model 23 in 40S&W "feels" good when im carrying concealed and the unmatched reliability "feels" pretty good too.

Re: 444 as a woods buming gun

I'd say the 444 would be a very versitale cartridge for most game. However for small game and woodsbumming I think a Marlin or Win 92 in 357 would be about perfect for what your talking. Light enough recoil to be enjoyable to shoot yet powerful enough to take deer and hogs all day long.
