cant find my pics but i have a 44 spl 5 1/2" NF with factory ivories and a 44/40 cylinder. have only shot it with the 44 spl cylinder but it is amazingly accurate just as it came from the factory, and that is with standard factory 'cowboy loads'

"jdpress: it looks like you got one of the very good ones. Nice find I even like the grips."
Rep 1954:
Thank you for the compliment and surprisingly, the grips are really nice and functional too. In spite of this benefit I am afraid that at some point in the future the walnut will be replaced with ivory, strictly for appearance.
I just put another 100 hand loads through it with 6.8 grains of Unique behind a 240 grain cast lead semi-wad cutter. The rounds felt like a lighter .45 Colt load, however, the accuracy seemed even better. The front sight is like nothing I have ever seen on a SAA; it looks like it is several inches tall when first acquiring a sight picture!
I am really enjoying this revolver.
