I have owned a 4 5/8" OM Blackhawk for 25 years and have not shot it since 2000. I have a special run (Lipsey's?) RB 3" 657 with factory "etching/engraving" that I picked up at the Buda Cabelas 8 or 9 years ago that I have never shot. Too good of a deal to pass up. This thread makes me want to get the Smith out.
Ed, you really should.
I was shooting my MG last Sunday with a 21 year old nephew from Washington state who has had little exposure to firearms. (Though his Dad has taught him to keep the bugger picker out of the trigger guard, which I appreciated and complimented the young man on)
The young man obviously has no taste. He was actually drooling over a four inch SP 101 in 327, and dreaming of owning his own. Though, in fairness, the SP carries a nice action/trigger job and is almost as nice to shoot as is the MG.
