Great shooting gun that carries well. That's one of my favorite configuration of the Model 10. The round butt version in that barrel length is my very favorite.

I think long and hard before selling any firearm nowadays. Make sure your quote is correct to avoid being the fool....

Even with full pressure 460 loads, recoil is manageable. I had some 454 Casull and 45 Colt loads worked up to run through it for reduced recoil, but ever since I discovered Trailboss I've used 460 brass exclusively. I found that around 9 - 10 grains of Trailboss under a 240 gr. LSWC very nearly duplicates 45 Colt standard pressure loads and recoil with those rounds in the 460 is negligible. It's a fairly accurate load, too. I love the versatility of the 460.
