Max is home!

Picked 'er up from my FFL today-



Love the balance & feel. Very nice condition, too. Turn line just starting to form, so it can't have been shot much. Came with ugly Pachmayrs, so I took a gamble & had these goncalo alves from gungrips.com waiting.

Can't wait to get some ammo loaded up & get 'er out to the range.

Just try & wipe the smile off your face after you shoot it.

After my first time shooting the 357 Maximum, I was hooked. It's now my favorite among calibers.

Caution ! Like potato chips, it's hard to stop after just one.

Have you seen the Dan Wessons Super Mag? The T/C is awesome in MAX !!!

Prescut
Do you cast your own bullets?

What's semi-funny is that I came into an unexpected chunk of cash & had planned on picking up a .357Mag Henry color cased, octagon barrel carbine as a companion for my beloved 6.5" .357Mag Blackhawk. I've been reading up on, lusting after & droolin' at pictures of Maxes for a few years (since I joined this forum, in fact. Hmmm... ). Got to diggin' around on GB & figgered I'd take a look-see if perchance there was a 10.5" Max available & here we are. Lol!

My FFL/owner of small LGS used to shoot silhouette back when & says he regrets ever selling his & that I got a really nice one. I expect that I will absolutely love this gun & can not wait to get 'er to the range. Gonna load up some gas checked 200gr LWNs over an appropriate dose of 4227 & see what happens.

I am sorely tempted to have a Henry .357Mag Single Shot reamed to a Max (& likely cut down to 16.5" or 18"). A Ruger #1 or #3 would be schweet, but too rich for my blood.
