Will all the Rugers and Smith's be relegated to the back of the safe? Will they be sold? It's headed this way... ![[Linked Image]](http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj220/deflave25_2008/wm_6818970_zps1cae0826.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj220/deflave25_2008/wm_6818968_zps42600031.jpg) Travis

The box is marked for .44 Special. Kinda muscular for a 44 Spl ain't it???

I think that cartridge in the model 97 will be perfection.

That is very, very nice. A 45 Colt would have made it perfect.

Excellent, excellent, excellent!!!

Hey Travis!
I for one, think you nailed it with the .44 Speecial!
My Ruger flat top .44 Special 4-5/8" is my all-time favorite big bore single action.
I'm thinking you have one just like it?
The logical next step up is the same gun in a Fredom Arms.
Congrats, and GFY!!!! (GRIN!)

Ive got a sweet tuned, honed and stone 4" Model66 Id be willing to trade...along with a vintage Randall, and my first born male child....

Outstanding! You need a copy of Brian Pearce's article in Handloader on loading the 44spl in the FA 97, it's comprehensive, as always.
Great little gun with some nice options. You might try scoping it one day as the accuracy should be terrific. Check out David Bradshaw's thread at Singleactions forum on shooting the FA 83 in 45 Colt with a 4 5/8" barrel scoped. It's an eye opener.
What leather you going to get for it?

Congrats! Here's a link to the Brian Pearce article -- lots of great info there. http://www.goodrichfamilyassoc.org/44_Special_Articles/Brian%20Pearce%20on%20the%2044%20Special.pdfI have a standard butt 5 1/2" FA97 in .44 special -- it's one of the most accurate guns I own. I haven't found a bullet that can't be used in this gun. Also have a 3 1/2" Round Butt .45 Colt/.45 ACP (was out shooting it w/.45 ACP cyl yesterday) and a 4 1/4" standard butt .45 Colt -- the FA97 is one of my favorites -- every time I pick one up, I just can't keep from smiling. Enjoy! Paul

Congrats Travis, I have the same gun in .44 Spl except that it's the regular grip instead of the round butt design.
Complete with black micarta grips, trigger stop, action tune, and the 4.25" barrel. Abslutely easy to carry as a "pack" gun!

Travis I do too. Congratualtions. When you get tired of it, I'll give you a new pair of aviators for it.
