It would be the last gun I'd ever part with...
I really like that, super nice. I'm not much on stainless. Sad that is almost all you find in 44 mag.
I used to load 180gr XTPs to 1800fps in my Redhawk....a useless load, but sounds like a .454...that is a published load, too.
I do like the M29. When I got my BA, my late brother gave me a M629 (no dash). He had the late great Larry Kelly port and tune it. One of the smoothest revolvers I have ever held or shot.
You guys quit it. I been wanting a 44 mag for some years.
I'm like someone else said though I prefer a 3-4 inch barrel, even in 1911's.
45 acp is my largest caliber hand gun. The old 44 mag would just add a little more pizzazz though.
I know I would enjoy the 44 mag, cause the 357 mag has become a favorite over my 45's because I reload and 38 special rounds just make it so versatile. That is how I see the 44 mag. Use 44 special for everyday shooting.
A 45 acp round just is to complicated for a wheel gun, with moon clips and stuff to be reliable.
I would also prefer a prelock and for all the above reasons they don't show up on the market unless they are way overpriced or need tons of work to bring them back to good condition, which all my firearms are. I can not stand a gun in subpar condition. Holster wear is tolerable and looks great on some guns, adds character. But a beat up pitted rusty piece is a no go.
I know why you do not see the old ones hit the market, cause they are enjoyed and treasured by their owners.
All that said, I probably need to get one even though it is a 6in, cause it may be my only chance to get a 44 mag at a reasonable price.
So thanks for convincing me.
Did I just talk myself into a new gun purchase. My wife is going to...........
