Hello all,

I have had the FA 97 44 special for a couple days and just got back from the range. Needless to say it is my new favorite. This guns has a custom barrel length at 4 3/4, trigger job, micarta grips along with the original laminated grips, over travel screw and fluted cylinder.

I shot it along with my NM Ruger Flat Top 44 Special. The first thing I noticed was the weight difference. I'm not sure of the specs but there is a significant difference, maybe 8 oz. The Freedom arms seemed to have less felt recoil which is due to the grip design. I shot 7 gr. of Unique under a 250 grain Mt. Baldy Keith bullet. I will try to give more of a report later when I take some targets to the range.

The best part of hunting and fishing was the thinking about going and the talking about it after you got back. - Robert Ruark
