Assuming no bullet weight restrictions (like some of the S&W L-frame 44spls), I will definitely be buying one of these. You know Smith has admitted those restrictions were stupid, right? You can shoot whatever you want out of the L's. Dave

I have two Taurus 441's but that will definitely be the third .44 SPL in the safe.

I gotta have this one. Would have preferred a fluted cylinder to help knock off a little weight, but I still want one. As has been said, a grip change and front sight change will almost make it perfect.
If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice.

I will definitely be ordering one. I love the concept of a medium frame, five shot, .44 Special. What's the weight on it, I wonder. PS I'd like to see one in a Speed Six configuration, i.e., fixed sights, but this one will do.

Yeah, I have four 44 specials but I'd have to add one of those before they stop the production run. I'd put the original GP100 grip on it....

Dear Santa, I've been sorta good this year...
That's one nice looking Ruger! Yes, wood grips would make it better, so bring them too.

Wow. That's no lightweight. That's not so bad, in my opinion. I'll bet the balance is real nice though, and it will be a real pleasant shooter with 240s in the 900-1000 fps range. Isn't the S&W Mountain Gun around 39 oz?

i went into davidson's gun genie last night and they showed the gun.
but also said demand exceeded supply, so no linking to a local dealer.
may be a while before you see one for sale.

I wish they had that one on the market a few years back. I would have got that instead of the Taurus Tracker.

Its shame they can't squeeze it into a SP101, a 3-4" at 28 oz or so would make a fine woods gun.

Several advantages of the Mountain Gun over a smaller-framed piece. I had both the L frame 69 and the Mountain Gun and decided the MG was superior. I sold the 69 to a cop who seemed to like it.
A lot of people hate the Governor, but it also fills nearly the same niche. The Governor is also pretty light. It's a bit bulky for concealment, but in cooler weather, it works. I haven't tried to conceal the MG that I recall.
Cool gun, but I'll pass so somebody more interested can get one. Elmer said he was in favor of anything that burned powder. I can't disagree.
