Anyone have one? I've had one for years in 45 LC. Built like a tank. Don't see them too often and I like obscure guns

I've got three .44 mags; a 6", 8 3/8", and 12". They are great guns.

I shot one in 44 Mag. The most brutal kicking revolver I have ever shot. My .475 Linebuagh is easier.

One of my best friends growing up had one in .44 mag.
Of course, I had a Ruger SBH. We shot IHMSA Competition.
His wasn’t very accurate. He finally sold it and bought a Ruger.

Had a 6" stainless back in the '80's that out-shot my Rugers, and my friend's Rugers (he wasn't happy about that). Back in the '80's it wasn't uncommon for a Ruger to have throats that were smaller than the bore diameter, and my Virginian was a near perfect 1.5 thou over...So mine shot lights out.
