[QUOTE="LBnM, post: 3018534, member: 817"] The .44 Mtn Gun was a favorite of mine for many years. When living in Colorado during the 70's it was a constant companion in a Roy Baker pancake in the woods and in town. I imagine a Simply Rugged would work just as well. I sold it long ago and really didn't miss it although .44 Special is still my favorite wheel gun cartridge. I now have a woods gun that I like just as well (or better.) It's a Ruger GP100 3" .44 Special carried in a Sparks PMK or a tanker chest strap holster. I went to buying Rugers when the H. hole came out in Smiths and haven't looked back. An older Smith is a work of art and I wouldn't hesitate to carry my old Mtn Gun again but I like the ruggedness of the Ruger. In the Summer I carry two CCI #4 snakeshot followed by three Gold Dot or Buffalo Bore Keith loads. In Oklahoma that's all I need. On a whim, I bought a Ruger Vaquero birdshead in .44 Magnum when they first came out. Now that I have reached the 3/4 of a century mark I will probably sell it with a couple of guns I have left. It's still unfired. Enjoy your Smith - it's a great handgun. [/QUOTE]
