I sure do like that 2nd one...had one and traded it in a moment of insanity.

Those short barrel .44s are awesome. Ruger has one out in stainless that's even shorter.

They are pretty. Some complain about the plastic, checkered grips on the newer Ruger revolvers, like your .44 spl, but I find they fit my hand well. I did take a sharp pocket knife and gently cut the tops off the diamonds on the edges...it really takes the bite away when the gun comes up in recoil. The plastic is soft, and they "smooth up" easily, with virtually no aesthetic damage.

Ruger sells a set of wood grips with the old style eagle medallions that I'd like to order.

I miss my 3 screw convertable so much...
Don't ever let them convert it.
It's a much better piece as is.
Just carry hammer dowm on your buryin' bill!

The walk and talk of the originals are perfect!

Swampy,

I do enjoy your photography (don't mind the Rugers either).

How ancient is the knife in picture #6?

I believe it was made in the 1950s. It looks a lot older than that. Nice Bird's Head!

I used to be a huge .45 Colt fan but as I've grown older I've realized Elmer was right.

who made the knives? They'd look good with a Hawken.

They are Old Hickorys and butcher knives that I pick up in second hand stores.

That is a cool model.
Do they make it in .45 LC?
Other barrel lengths?

Blued too?
