And I believe EVERY SINGLE WORD Uncle Walt says!!!

We have an episode of SHOOTING GALLERY on the GUNSITE single action self-defense class, and it will really open people's eyes! The key issue is reloading...you gotta get to cover for the reload. Fastest is rounds on your belt, load 2 at a time. I can run an SA Ruger not that much slower than a 1911.

I have a Cimarron .44 Special that I've carried on the road to film cowboy events...I carry it in a Mernickle high-ride that conceals really well. I carry it with 200-gr Corbon DPX...I believe that'll get me home at night!!!

I don;t feel uncomfortable with my 45Colt SA loaded with Winchester Silvertips HP's in a home SD situation.

I have rotated one between my other SA/DA .357 from time to time.

The key is PRACTICE. Familiarity with any weapon is very beneficial. Is using it like routine, half awake, in the dark, not being able to see the front sight and being consistent at point shooting.

Re-Cocking the hammer in a safe, fluid motion..etc,...

Not my first choice for carry by any means, mines to damn big. but for home defense, it is certainly a fight ending caliber.

45Colt Silvertips even work on werewolves,...

What MB said.. ::)

+1 on the .44 spl Cor-Bons.

And don't get me wrong, I would not feel under-gunned with any of my SA's..... it would just depend on the circumstances as to when and where I chose to carry one. When I carry a SA, I carry .44 special Cor-Bon's in my short-barreled Super Blackhawk.
I carry one around when out and about on our property, or when riding dirt roads on the ATV and never think twice about whether it's adequate protection. I've even worn it to town under a coat.
