It had a rubber grip on it but I took care of that. "If what I say offends you, you should hear what I don't say."

Don't you already have a short-barreled .44 Mag? It looks pretty good that way. I'm not a huge fan of Buntline types, but it looks good. How much? Did you have to buy the grips or did you have some on hand?

OP Swampman1 Campfire Regular Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 1,735	With a bit of horse trading to get the grips, I have about $400.00 in it. I have a 7.5" blued old model SBH, and a 4 5/8ths" .44 Special Flattop. Getting the barrel cut and a new front sight turned out to be a lot more expensive than I thought. Ruger won't install a shorter barrel which would have been the cheapest way to go. Putting a scope on it the way I want would probably cost me $500.00 so I may just shoot it as is.

Landrum I agree. With that looooong sight radius and a good rest, you should be able to shoot the antennas off flies at 100 yds! "I'm gonna have to science the schit out of this."

Yes indeed. I've got the blued version, and while I can't see fly antennae that far, I'm sure the SBH would be up to the challenge. With a sight radius only a half foot short of a carbine, its almost like cheating. Cutting the barrel would be regrettable.

Killed many a deer with them. I think them to be great huntin revolvers and actually eaiser to shoot off hand than the T/C Contenders that I am so fond of.
