A few years back after seeing my first bowling pin shoot, I decided I needed a bigger bore revolver. I started looking for a S&W .45 but could not find one. I did run across a S&W 624 and compared the ballistics of a .45 and .44 and bought the 624. I love this gun and I can hit better with it than any revolver that I ever shot. Lot of difference in power between my hand loads and over the counter bullets that I have shot, which is not many. And no, I am not hot rodding my hand loading. miles
