New Hand Cannon

[rwc101]

A family friend told me he was going to hand down his Smith and Wesson .44 mag. That was 15 years ago, and I honestly didn't think the day would ever come. Ported barrel and professional trigger job. Not sure what happened to the grips. Those will be replaced.

Has it been stored in a foam case?

Has it been stored in a foam case?

Possibly. It was in a holster in a safe the last time I saw it (10 years ago).

Nice! I shot my first handgun animal (a small five point bull) with a 4” 629. I sold that to a friend for a reason I now forget. He mentioned the other day that he still had it.

All mine are S&W K & L Frame .357 save a lone J .38 stubby. I'll take a poor man's Python any day.

Fire-breathing dragon right there.

310 grain hardcasts w/ 20 grains of H110 will let you know your actual wrist strength.

Just needs to be close. The shockwave from that porting with deafen anything nearby.

1st shot will be fine, shots 2-6 may require a cast

One of my faforite .44s!

There’s a video somewhere of me shooting my 329 PD one handed. One of the dumber things I’ve done in the last couple years. Only one way to find out how bad it is.

Replace the grips with Hogue. My carry gun for griz areas is a Taurus Tracker .44 mag loaded with 300 gr hard cast. Packs a punch, but when you figure out how to manage the recoil, kind of fun to shoot. Have fun with it, can't limp wrist them at all.

A friend had a 4" 500 Smith, it was heavy enough that shooting two handed was a breeze, but kind of hurt the web of the hand shooting it one-handed. Got to have a strong grip.
