I picked this up today after the collective thought seemed to be "go for it". Came with a wrong handed FA holster, snap caps, box and all paper work. I was told it was unfired, and now that I have pulled the cylinder I believe it. The poor fellow about cried when I told him it would stay unfired until Saturday and then it was becoming a working gun!! Oh well, I dont buy nice guns to not shoot them.    And I dont buy Ducati's to putt around on either! ;D Thanx for yalls help...I really need a better job or something... |

terrific gun Tas...
I have often said that if I had to go to only one...that would be THE one, and I don't have one yet. I have a few in 454 and really think that 44mag sometimes makes more sense.
Not shooting a FA gun??? Who does that? I bought one several years ago that was un-fired from a collector. I really doubt they will ever be collector's items, but who knows.
That holster is JUST the "right" hand BTW....

Man, that is a NICE gun! That's the exact configuration I'd want in the 44 mag model 83. I think either that one, or a 44 Special model 97, will be my next FA. Maybe a model 97 45 Colt :-)
By the way, you wanna sell that holster?

Thanx for all the kind comments. You know, I really wanted a shorter barrel, but this pistol balances nicely, so I think I'll leave it be. I want to shoot it first and go from there. I do plan to change the front sight blade with a ramped front insert from Alpha Precision.
Hammerdown...I might, I'll PM you first shot if I do. I had a 97 in 44 special and hated it. Too small for me. Whacked my 2nd finger with every shot, and the action was gritty. I was looking at the 41 mag 97 in the links forum, but figured it would be worse....nice gun though. I think the 83 fits my hand better, and I guess I could get a 44 special cylinder, but my USFA's fit that role so I probably wont.
