Has any one shot one of these?

I never even noticed it before on the back of one of the gun rags. Someone turned it upside down and I just happened to look at it. Made me do a double take when I looked at the cylinder.

I desperately need to hear a range report on this one. ANyone?

Lots of talk of them over at the firing line

Supposed to be very accurate, but a handful, I was looking at them and bought a SRH 454 instead, still may get one.

I was scared to touch it off, but it really wasn't that bad. It's far more comfortable to shoot than a .44 S&W MG with any factory load. It's owner advised me that I'd shot his stepped-up handloads, and he handed over a single Federal factory load for me to shoot. That was as comfortable as .38s in a K-frame or .44 Special in the MG.

They are very pleasant to shoot. The grips let it roll and it doesn't roll all that much. They are capable of being very accurate. I shoot everything from 300gr to 475gr without problems. If you load them to silly levels they are a handful. I loaded some contender loads that used 41gr of Rx7 under a 405gr bullet. The book says 1450 with a 10 inch barrel. These smack you pretty hard but are still very controlable. Not a bad price and a ton of fun to shoot.
