I grew up in the Dirty Harry era...never bit on the hype....a buddy bought a Blackhawks 44...with factory ammo it was painful to shoot..
So for years I turned my nose ant anything 44...just was content with 357 revolvers and 1911s....since I bought a python an fell in love with colts....an Anaconda showed up in a cabelas gun library for 800 bucks...I bought it because it was a colt, I didn't care for the 44 but for that price what to heck....after shooting it I quickly changed my toon...what a dream...its dearly at 80 yds with cast bullets around 1100...I now have a 629 mt gun...funny how thing work now my two fav revolvers..guess I should have been more open minded....
