I’ve been shooting 44 Mags since the early 70’s with up to 320 bullets loaded warm. Still have three 44 mag’s S&W, Ruger and a Marlin.

I have no need to make a 44 Mag out of this Model 25.

I noticed that my 44 Special (Model “P” clone) gets shot a lot more than the other 44 revolvers. So when the opportunity arose, I could not overcome temptation, the 25 wasn’t for sale long. I suspect it will get shot a lot.

The first six shots out of the barrel with no-name commercial 225 grain loads were spot on, no sight adjustment needed and was it accurate!

I was ventilating a new trash burn barrel. The only bullets that went through the opposite side were ones that went through a previously made hole on the entrance side. I then took my 44 Special out and WW cast bullets went through - with the out going bullets leaving a big hole.

I’m going to enjoy this 45 Colt.

I prefer classic.
