The absolute best bang for the buck accuracy wise in .22LR is the Ruger 678, expect sub-minute groups with good ammo.
In six-guns, search out an older S&W Masterpiece.
The 44 Special was obsolete the day Elmer got his first 44 Magnum!
The S&W 696 has dangerously thin forcing cones, the gun is a vault queen/collectible not suited for regular use.
More Python MYTHS Repeated Endlessly!
The Colt Python is an incredibly smooth and accurate shooter BUT nobody shoots them in competition simply because they are dead soft and shoot loose at amazingly low round counts.
My first two were bought in the mid sixties and mid seventies and both...
Buy it now, prices on firearms (and everything else) is in flux and expect a 25-35% increase very soon.
Inflation is an ugly by product of too much printed money.
What something cost last year has absolutely no relation to prices now.
PS-
A longtime ago three sorta famous gun culture types bumped heads and designed what they thought would be the perfect gas checked hard cast bullet for the early Freedom Arms revolver chambered in the 454 Casull. Dick Casull, Roger Barnes (different) Roger made perfect custom cast bullets...
Is This An Episode Of Jay Leno Jay-Walking?
I believe Linebaughs pressure comparisons confuse noobs, a slim percentage reduction in pressures means zero in subjective recoil perception!
Simply put, fire a 300gner@1300fps from a .45 LC and from a .44 Maggie in the Ruger Redhawks, TRY and feel...
The Line Boring Myths-
Firstly, IF the FA needs line boring it would seem that each frame may have variances from the original blue print?
Having a bit of shop time and seen parts machined to a tenth of a thousandth even on a rotary vice fixture as used by several smiths in making their own...
Tuner-
I think there's still a special @ USFA on a convertable.
Also some semi famous rag writer has an article coming out about a USFA rechambered to .44 Maggie!
Gator, according to the blue book over a million 1892s were produced, personally I've seen more than a few of these in operable condition offered at under $500.00 bucks.
The point of my post was that it appears the NFA classification has been removed for certain serial number blocks, I will...

UNBEATABLE Accuracy??
I searched your linked website looking for some 50 yd targets, do you have some to post?
FYI, some time ago a member of the U.S. Shooting Team posted his "creds" along with targets and match results using a Smith 952 and there was also a parallel thread...
BATF Loophole?
Hello, I read on the other forum that BATF may well allow a certain serial number block of the old 1892s that are called Trappers and came factory with 14 &15" barrels.
Checking now as there will likely be a HUGE rush to buy that certain serial block of 1892s.....BATF now sez...
Manuals Hodgdon Loose Leaf Binder Cheapo
I don't have my reloading manuals with me (out of town on business again )
but just went to hodgdon's site (can never spell that right, nor pronounce it!) in the 135 grainers hottest I see there is under 1500fps no 800x listed for the 135 grainers...
boomer said
I scoured around for loads on the 10mm (as I am looking to buy one) and have only seen 135gr under 1550fps within SAAMI specs. Any idiot can make a proof load and hope his gun holds up for a few shots.
Look a bit harder boomer, the Hodgedon manual lists a 135gn load using 800x...
