This gun is well timed and shoots well. I would rather stay with it as it was my Dad's gun. But the 7.5" barrel is annoying.it might be cheaper to trade for a 5.5" version than modify.
About 18"....what is the optimum length of barrel for .44 magnum?
So Craig, would they sell me a 5.5" barrel ?They don't do that any more.
What are levels of v and ftlb do we get with 18" compared to 19" and 17"?About 18".
Because energy is a poor gauge of a cartridge's effectiveness on living tissue. Especially when it comes to big bores. It is a number that places far too much importance on velocity, which is the most rapidly diminishing factor. It places less importance on weight and zero on diameter. Energy doesn't kill. Blood loss due to tissue damage is what kills.Why not?
Hahaha..... yep... and thats the reason I have a nice lever to go along with it....About 18".
