I have two 44 Specials and a couple 44 Magnums. The 44 Specials - one is a 1873 Clone and the other is a S&W, neither is as light as the Ruger, I suppose. But I shoot the S&W a lot and carry the 1873 a lot.
I could use another 44 Special. I have been looking at the Ruger for a long time. I probably should be selling instead of buying at me age.
