Bunch of nice revolvers, y'all.
Wonder how come no one has written to boast of their Desert Eagle .44?
The only .44 Mag I currently own is a custom Super Blackhawk, the old three screw type. It was built up by a now departed friend, and I bought it at the estate auction - - -
Barrel cut back to 4-5/8 inch, standard round guard grip frame and an early fluted Bisley cylinder fitted.
It is certainly a stout gun, able to take loads far heavier than I can comfortably shoot. The smallish guard impacts an arthritic knuckle of my trigger finger and brings tears to my eyes, even when it doesn't draw blood! Most of my shooting is done with 240 bullets at under 1000 fps. I carry it in a high ride Thad Rybka holster, and it is quite handy. In recent years, though, I've neglected this fine revolver in favor of my Mountain Gun in .45 Colt.
Best,
Johnny
