I don't care for the Taurus Judge or S&W Governor. I have smaller .44s, a couple of Rossi 720s, that work quite well, even though many people are contemptuous of them.
+1 on the Rossi 720's in 44 special. I sold mine but not because there was a darn thing wrong with it. Wish I had it back.

I love the modification Alukban, that you did with your Mountain Gun. I thought I was the only one around that had an N Frame .45 Colt that also handles .45 ACP. Had this one built years ago, and it is still a solid performer. Campfire member Tim Olt (Michiganroadkill) made the chopper in the picture. ![[Linked Image]](http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt349/Knocky/2014%20First%20Half/BigandBold_zpsf5c5822e.jpg)

Just tossing out this, I have a set of brand new Crimson Trace grips for the Mountain guns. I ended up with an extra set and no longer have the intended gun they were going on.
Guys wanting to see how they work, could try them to see it they like them? Or take them off my hands.

Proud owner of a 629-4 MG. $500 about 10 years ago.
Have not seen another since then.

I like smooth Eagle finger groove stocks on my S&W revolvers. The checkered stocks look good, but the checkering is rough on your hand if you're shooting anything with more recoil than a 38 Special and you aren't wearing a glove. www.eaglegrips.comJeff

Doc,
You might try a pair of Herrett's that CDNN has been selling for some time. Smooth and just enough leaner than the factory stocks to just work in my large hand. They are cheap too so whittling away is easy. I probably have a half dozen N-frames wearing them. I canlt do finger grips on anything.
Conduct is the best proof of character.

Go to www.cdnninvestments.com and click on the catalog. The grips are on pages 117 thru 123, with the Hogue exotic wood close-outs on page 123. Jeff PS - Good deal on extra/spare earplug on page 81.

Thanks..I have been wanting to try a pair of the Herrett Detective stocks but it looks like they only have them for Colt revolvers at this time...

WOW, might have to consider letting mine fly for that kind of money!  It's pre-lock, hammer mounted firing pin, XS front night sight, and somebody that really knows what they are doing has smoothed the action/trigger up slicker than I've ever felt on ANY revolver!

My first MG was a .41 Magnum and then I picked up an early .45 Colt, last to enter my collection is this .357. This one on the L frame works best for me. I sold off the .41 and the .45. ![[Linked Image]](http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l99/woods-walker/DSC08270_zps19de2577.jpg)

That is NUTS!! It surprises me, some of the prices people ask for (And Get) on some of the sites.
THE CHAIR IS AGAINST THE WALL. The Tikka T3 in .308 Winchester is the Glock 19 of the rifle world. The website is up and running!www.lostriverammocompany.com

Who woulda ever thought there would be a thread this long for the mountain gun.
It's not even semi auto or metric, or plastic, tactical, or black!

Surprised no one has put a bid in on this one yet just to make sure it doesn't get pulled.... http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=387036756If one didn't reload the .45 ACP is probably the best MG caliber as one can run everything from .45 ACP target loads to .45 Super... Bob
