Wow,
Nice. I'm jealous.
I'm very interested in the 44 special. Skeeter and Elmer and all that. Thinking about a flattop Blackhawk.

Sweet! Well taken care of, great find!
You know, this was turning out to be a great day till I opened your thread, now I will spend the remainder of the evening with the dreaded disease “I want that”...
How much?
Hope you didn’t pay as much for you’re as I did for the attached which I picked up several weeks ago.
One word describes your new acquisition: SWEET

Thanks for the kind comments. This pistol is much, much older than my usual additions! Is there anything special I should do to keep it looking good?
The stocks are pretty much unfinished, I don't know if I should put some BLO or Tru Oil on them? Any suggestions... Other than sending it to one of you?!

I spent a couple of hours at the range today and put 100 rounds of my hand loads and 50 rounds of Winchester Cowboy action ammo through the .44 HE.... What a terrific pistol! I am usually more accurate with revolvers than semi-auto pistols, but I found this old S&W to be particularly accurate and easy to shoot.
I'm a big guy and the combination of the size and heft of the "N" frame combined with the mild .44 special round is a terrific combination. I have a soft spot for the old "black powder days" cartridges, I shoot a lot of .38, .45 colt and .357.... but I do believe I've found a new favorite!
I might have to find another .44 special pistol.... I know the 2nd Model is still a "usable" pistol, but it's such a nice example, I just don't want to damage it. But, shooting large bore double action is something I want to do a lot more of.... Thank goodness I reload! They don't give those big bore bullets away, do they?

No but at 79$ 1000 you can get great ones here since you reload.

Just another heads-up, Dardas makes some great bullets, too.
