I soooo want one of these beauties. I bought three guns in December, so I have a wife imposed waiting period.

Looks Great, Doug...! I just sent payment out today for mine WOOOHOOO YIIIPPEEEEE!!! I can't wait to get it in hand! I'm anxious to see if those 255's you mentioned will fit.? I cast a 265 WFNPB and I'm hoping it will fit but, I believe it'll be fine. If you do try'em please let me/us know. What does your cyl length & throats measure anyhow? Thanks Ray PS Is the front sight actually dovetailed in or, does it have the plunger style like some of the SRH and GP100?

Thanks Ray PS Is the front sight actually dovetailed in or, does it have the plunger style like some of the SRH and GP100? I haven't measured anything yet, just eye-balling it so far. I'm betting your 265 WFN bullets fit fine. My calipers are not here right now; in a tool box at a garage/storage space I have. The front sight is dovetailed in, no plunger like the SRH. Exciting news about yours coming in soon. You'll love it. Just when I was thinking to take a chance on a Charter Arms 44 Bulldog, this jewel pops up and I, for one, am sure glad it did. Thanks Ruger, Lipseys, and anyone else involved in making this one come to fruition.

I am such a dork. Every time I glanced at that thread for the 44 Terminator I brushed it off as the other thread for the re-run of the 477-640 mold, which I have. I'll email him and check on any extras he might have cut on this run. I've picked up a couple of his molds that way.

What is the 44 terminator? Sounds like I may "have" to have one...

So I reloaded 50 rounds of .44 Special for the first time, and today my wife tried the cartridge. She loved it!!! I am hoping I can somehow get her excited enough to okay buying one of these! 😁

Loaded some up and shot mine yesterday. It is as accurate as any other 44 Special I've shot. You guys will like it!

Ayoob does a review of this one in the new GUNS magazine. He liked it, but the accuracy wasn't very good.
