That's a good looking gun and I like the same scope. Claw mounts call for a 1 inch straight tube scope with good eye relief and these fit the bill.

I'm curious if Bowen did that hammer. The welding isn't as clean as what I'd expect of his shop.
I like the hammer though. Not a fan of the standard Ruger DA hammer profiles.

Strong price for the most basic TLA. Decent shape. Plumb changes probably don't impact price a ton.
It doesn't seem like many of them have sold recently, or maybe I've missed the ones that have sold.

I hope I'm not stepping on anyone's toes here, but that's a $2k package from Reeder plus your base gun which might be worth it if you want to skip the wait times and your name happens to be Captain G. Evans www.reedercustomguns.com/revolvers/southern_comfort.htmGary will normally remove names and re-etch for the new owners of his customs for cheap or free, which I think is a nice gesture.

I'd be bidding if it was a 16" barrel. You can use a stabilizing brace like with ARs now

That barrel needs to be threaded ASAP
With suppressors clearing in less than a week now this is an appealing barrel

Great configuration for a round that could become a RW signature feature. Not a reason in the world to apologize for your shooting Here’s a trick to becoming a better shot:

I've had this OM plow handle Bisley hammer in my parts box for a couple of months since Ronnie sent it to me just waiting for the right gun to come along. When I saw this one on the Ruger Forum I thought it was a perfect pair, and for anyone who saw the ad it was a good deal to the right buyer (folks like us lol). The original trigger sear had been modified and the pull had a little hitch, but after restoring the proper angle on the original trigger all was good. Ronnie sent along a wide trigger but I didn't open the grip frame window, having not decided if it was keeping this grip frame or if I'd swap it for another Wells aluminum piece. It would be a shame to orphan the stags, but if I can find something in the safe that fits them I'll probably do a swap. I suppose I'll keep my eyes open for a magnum cylinder as well. Short of needing to remediate the old trigger, the hammer swap was a 5 minute job. I put a factory OM SBH hammer in an OM Clements 44 Special at the same time and moving the hammer plunger over took longer than installing the RW unit.

I'm hardly the guy to help here, but before others more knowledgable come along it might be nice to know if you cleaned the chambers and wiped lube off the brass before shooting.
Seems some say clean and dry is the trick. Others say it's the geometry of certain rounds that make bottleneck revolvers work or fail. Chamber finish plays a role as well I believe.
Thankfully those items can generally be corrected.

Those skeletonized hammers have grown on me. Like a lot of folks who were ambivalent about them, now I wish I'd snagged some on closeout.

Necrobump because I find myself desiring a .44 Special launcher and I've driven myself to analysis paralysis. I'm generally drawn to 4" revolvers but I am finding my 3" 686+ to be pleasant as well. How differently do the 4.25" and 2.75" M69s handle? Or is there really not enough difference to notice? If I'm just shooting poofter loads (think Russian in a .44 Special case) for plinking fun and the Skeeter load as my top end, am I really giving up any significant performance with the shorter barrel? I shoot both and don’t find much difference in handling. Pick whichever fits your carry method the best. Load performance will have more to do with the barrel gap and speed of the barrel than length, and in light loads who cares?

There’s limited options for primitive hunting season requirements and it seems like the Contender and Encore fit the bill at a price point between the CVA and a nice 1885.
Exposed hammer. Big bore chamberings. Single shot.
