Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns Ruger Flattop .44 Special

I tuned in late. I was always one who swore they'd buy the first .44Spl Ruger made but by the time they made one, I had developed a strong preference for the Old Model, Colt-style action. This custom by Jim Stroh ruined me on that. With an aluminum XR3 grip frame, it's 37oz of pure pleasure to carry and shoot.


Then I found a used Bisley model last year and had to bring it home. It now wears CLC fancy black walnut. Unfortunately, as has been mentioned, these New Model flat-tops are not lightweights. This one coming in at 1oz lighter than a 4 5/8" Bisley .44Mag.


I usually carry them in a Threepersons of my own make.
