I admit, I got the revolver bug after reading Unintended Consequences.
I rented a Ruger .44 Mag and was a bit intimidated by the size of the big cartridges and gingerly touched off a few cylinders.
"Hey, this is FUN!"
I instantly noticed that if I was careful, the big wheelgun was much more accurate than my Glock 22. I liked that the sights were fixed to the barrel instead of a floating slide. The kaboom, the tactile feedback, the impressive holes being cut in the target... Good stuff!
I found a Performance Center 629 locally and bought it. I started collecting wheel weights and casting them into ingots, all the while shooting on the evenings and weekends. Pretty soon I had a set of 6 cavity molds and 8lbs of H110. I became the campus leader of the Students for Concealed Carry on Campus for my last semester. I graduated with my degree in Mechanical Engineering and my Dad and brother surprised me with a John Ross 500 S&W.
Here's my brand new Big Bore (serial #013
) next to the PC 629 and my 3-screw Single Six.
I had to get the Ken Null holster to go with the 500. It's everything I hoped. The gun feels fantastic. Can't wait to shoot it. I have a couple sample packs coming from ballistic supply, 350gr -> 700gr.
Looks like the H110 won't last as long as I thought.
