Let me ask the ILLUMINATED ILLUMINATI a question. You mean he didnt carry a 1950 Model Target 4 inch 44 Special prior to the 44 Magnum. Now surely the Braniacs ought to know the answer to that question since they DEVOTED, much DEVOTED Keith fans.
Educated me on this.
By the same token, the early N frame Smiths didnt offer much in the way of cocking the hammer in single action. The hammer spurs had to be tricky to operate with a gloved hand.
They were rounded, slick and miniscule compared to a New Service hammer.
And Elmer wasnt a dyed in the wool Smith guy until after WWII, when Colt had no revolver cartridge cataloged over 38/357.
Until the 44 Magnum was created, the No. 5 SA was his favorite sidearm.
