I "had" one in .45Colt w/5.5"bbl.
I pig hunted "once" with it in hip holster. (Think boat ride in at 6:00am, ride out at 6:30pm.)
Now, I think; "crew served revolver".
With 20.0gr of #2400 under a Lee 300gr FNGC I once shot a 6-shot one hole group at 25yds, but I'd cry if I thought I'd have to tote it for 13hrs on my hip again. (I used to carry a Glock M22 w/3 mags on a duty belt plus handcuffs, etc fwiw.. for a "long days patrol"... so I had expectations....).
I now have what "I wanted", a S&W 625 Mountain Gun .45Colt.
My Avatar shows a now "gone" 329PD. TOO LIGHT, THANKYOU!
The 625 is the "keeper". Even with "just" a RCBS 270gr SWC over 9.2gr. LongShot @900+fps, it'll perforate anything I might encounter. Mostly, I carry a Lee 255RFN over enough powder to get ~850fps. It'll also shoot stem to stern through most deer or pigs we encounter. Sufficiently accurate @~2.5"@25yds.
Next season I'll be carrying a S&W 69 with .44spl w/240swc. A K frame grip (L-frame) It fits my hands better and is almost as accurate as the "old Ruger" was.
Not trying to throw "cold water", just mentally preparing you!
Lanyard on the revolver?
I once watched a co-worker "lose"! A S&W Mod65 issue revolver overboard from our Bill Jordan holster after brushing up against the gunnels of our patrol boat, and then reach for a boat registration. Paloop! Never retrieved it. Not long after, we got nice Safariland security holsters and M686's...
