How is your will power?  Do I need to give a sales pitch, or is this enough?

If I appear taller than other men it is because I am standing on the shoulders of others.

What's EDC?

Just thought I'd jump in, here...

Billt, EDC is Every Day Carry or what you always have with you ready to shoot because, you know, democrats.

I don't know.    Just not a fan of those long barrels anymore.

While I'm waiting for just the right .500 to come available, I did manage to pick up a 5" .44 Mag last night.  $695.




I sold my 6" one a while back and have been hankering for a more manageable 5".  If I could find speed loaders for it, I'd take it and some .44spl to the next ICORE match.

Nice wheel-gun Alf. The 5" barrel looks like a great compromise and .44 Magnum is plenty for any critters that are likely to cross my path.

I also like the look of Ruger Redhawks but don't know if I'd get the 5.5" or 4.2" barrel. There's only a 2 ounce difference in weight between the two.
