I'm interested in the answer to this as well. The 44 loaded hot in the large from revolvers like the FA or the redhawk and suck is a pretty potent rig. Buffalo bore has a 340 grain had cast at 1400fps. That is a lot of penetrating power!

That's probably a good idea. I have a 22wmr revolver and a full sized 357 that I could run 38's through, or work up a powder puff 357 load to warm up with. I used to shoot a lot of long range type stuff and I'm really enjoying starting from scratch in a new discipline so to speak. I think it...

I am really liking the single action. That was my first go with one of those and I can definitely see what the alure is. I have everything set up to start producing some reloads so hopefully I can work up a load that the pistol likes and we will see what happens. Once I feel like I have a pretty...

This was the best 5 shot I produced today along with a 5 shot at 40yds the high shot on the 40yd group was a sight alignment issue.

First five shot group, definitely had some fliers.

First shot with the 7.5" it has a really good trigger which once I developed a pre shot routine and got used to it, made it pretty easy to shoot

Today's set up. Everything was shot standing from sticks at 25yds, except a couple groups where I moved back to 40yds. First shot with the 7.5" was pretty much bullseye. Things then went downhill and then back uphill. Long and short of it was the 5.5" gun had a rougher trigger and the recoils...

Thought I would fill you all in with the latest update. I have borrowed from a friend of mine a 5.5" ruger new model blackhawk in 45lc and I also acquired from my dad a 7.5" of the same gun I already owned a Redhawk 7.5" and while visiting my dad I also picked up a 4.25" Colt Kodiak 44mag. I can...

I see a few for sale with pachmyer grips. Are those older models or is that something that people have just changed out on there own. Any reason to steer clear of those? I have tried like hell to find a store with one in stock so I can actually put my hands on one just to see if I like it and I...

Looks like SMJ is about 7 hours from my house. I think I can pull that off.

I think the 6" may be a good compromise. I plan to run an RMR on it but the 6" probably would be a good way to go. I didnt think about getting stuff behind the over travel screw. That's a good point and I was curious about the Magna porting. I will probbaly pass on that gun. I'm gonna look into...

I'm leaning towards a shorter barrel, I just like short barrels, I think the easier something is to carry and handle the more you will actually use it. There is a 6" on gun international with an "action job" trigger over travel screw and magna-port for $2900. There is an older model a little...

Were it not for really wanting the octagon barrel I would get this one, although I think I prefer the wood grips too...

Thanks guys! This has been immensely helpful, you all have saved me what I am positive would have been a lot of headache in trial and error and learning curve with the FA. The info about the lead time also helped a lot. I do want to order one but what I think my plan is going be is purchasing...
