Ok, so I have a new FA and I'm still in the Honeymoon Stage  Now I have a Long and Short 454, well, not counting the 454 Levergun but that's a different thread. I'll scope the FA at some point and may pack it as a primary and the RH as the backup gun. Like on a Deer Hunt on Kodiak Island. Lets see picks of your Long and Short companion pistols! 454's...  Or, 45 Colts...  |

Synd, I'll play along if I can get Imgur to cooperate.  6-1/2" JRH built 500 Linebaugh Maximum 4" Gallagher built 500 Linebaugh. I have an OM 45 that was 7-1/2" but Mr. Harton cut it down for me. 6-1/2" is the longest barrelled revolver I have. Tim |

Not as bad as most might think. With full house loads, it is attention getting. With Trail Boss loads, very tolerable.
The Birdshead is scalloped and lightened, so at 35 ounces, it pretty snappy. The Max weighs in at over 51 ounces, but holds a bit more powder.
If you're ever in the middle of Oklahoma, you're welcome to drop by and see for yourself!

Tim Thanks for the offer if im ever that that way ill take up on it. I was really hoping you was going to say it's unbearable. Y'all are going to make me have to get a 500 shorty. |

That shorty 500 of Tim’s is deceiving. It’s great in the hand. I haven’t shot it but Tim is recovering from shoulder surgery. Coincidence? I don’t think so...
