I was 18. Carried it for a number of years.
Had it when I was in the Infantry.
Carried it when I worked in the Frank Church on outfitter and guide ranch.

This is the only pic I have of it,

The day i killed this scrawny buck I used it to pop the heads off a bunch of grouse while waiting for my dad to bring the truck around to get me and the deer. We were a couple hours from where we started that morning.



Sold the SBH years ago and bought a Model 29. No regrets, as I have always shot the M29s a little better. But that .44 was a good one.



Scrawny buck...grin

In answer to the op. Ruger Super Blackhawk blued 7 1/2 inch. Carried it around in a shoulder holster for a while till I dumped it for a Blackhawk 45 4 5/8 inch.
