I made a deal with my wife. When our Rona stimulus check came in, she could stimulate the economy how she wanted with her half, and I'd stimulate it my way, as long as we both agreed to buy local and buy American!
Sooooooo……. off to my LGS I went.
Picked up my new 44 Special with Magnum capabilities today!
A S&W 329PD
I knew the sharp edged on these factory stocks would tear me up (speaking from previous experience with Altamont stocks on a S&W 69). They looked cool and all, just not going to do that to myself with this Air Lite war hammer!
I ordered a set of VZ 320 R2S Conversion grips for it. The grips arrived well in advance of the conclusion of my 10 day wait (which actually turned into 13 days ... Thanks CA!). Not only do I like the looks of the VZ's, I am really liking the feel. The proof will be in the pudding when I get her out to the range, but as I said at the beginning, this is a Special that will see some moderate Mags if the need arises.
I keep a bunch of Skeeter Loads worked up for my dedicated 44 Special revolvers, and I'm thinking this may be the favorite load for out kicking in the boonies around here. Nothing I am likely to run into in the Sierra Nevada what might need shootin' cant be handled by a big, plodding chunk o' lead.
I'll report when I get to shoot her this weekend.
