Thanks to everybody for the replies. I was out on the golf course all day.
I have been kicking around a custom like EdM or Whitworth often post. But I had not yet pulled the trigger. After handling RJM's gun (WTF?) I got to thinking that in a .44 Special may be perfection, and also hold resale value if I decided I wanted something different.
I will shoot it a bit before making the final decision but if I like it as much as I predict I will, I'll just sell some other stuff and make this my official go to.
So I don't consider it spending a lot of coin, just shuffling coin that has already been spent anyway. Or somethin'...
