Show your 44's. Magnum or Specials.

Here is my 44 family. I was going to sell the Smith, but I am too attached to it. At top is the new 44 mag Alaskan. Below is the 44 Super Blackhawk. At the bottom is my 44 mag Mountain Gun. What have YOU got? Best -

New and old Charter Arms Bulldogs. Found some classic wood grips at the last gun show. Fit and finish on the new one was terrible but it can shoot under 2" at 20 feet in SA mode.



The two puppies with a HUGE Taurus 431. The grip was a finger grooved model that I sanded down till I liked the feel.

Freud will love this next picture. Compensation for a preceived inadequacy?



S&W Model 29 4 inch, Ruger Super Blackhawk (old grip) 7.5" Statue of Liberty model and Super Blackhawk 10".



Big fish, bigger fish, OMG

I still feel a little "inadequate" since I only have one 44 Mag......a 1981 Ruger Redhawk

A few more of my Redhawk. It's cold and windy today, so I'm "shooting" my 44 inside .

Sixforsure,
Don't put such a nice looking pistol up, without giving us a description! Man, that is a nice looking unit.

Term,
It is S&W Model 696 3" barrel .44 Special. It is a five shot built on the L frame. I have only had it about a week and haven't shot it yet, but have carried it daily in an original Baker Pankake.

Ruger Super Blackhawk, 10.5" bbl, .44 Magnum. Love those long barreled revolvers.

Rxrick,
How about a description. I can see that the top one is a 629 classic, but that is about all that I can tell. Best -

I just so happen to have a group photo of my .44 Specials. I notice you mention ".44s. Specials or Magnums," but what about "-40s"?
