329PD 44 Magnum - The Ultimate Mountain Gun

[@taofledermaus]

Looks about as fun to shoot as a 2lb. 12ga. shotgun! Ouch!

[@buffalosoutdoors]

LOL No kidding!

[@beakfish7319]

Its super nice with 44spl! And if a bear is charging me im not going to be too worried about what the gun will do to my hand. Lol ive fired a full box of 50 rounds of 240 44mag rounds and my hand was pretty sore afterward but it is doable. Its the greatest backpacking/hiking gun ever!

[@PsychoticBovine]

My brother has a .44 mag derringer. Weighs about as much as an lcp.

[@hardtack8776]

Ouch 😳👀, Good shooting Buffalo! 👍👌😎😊

[@PsychoticBovine]

@Peter Angles It's an American Derringer. Built very well.

[@theldun1]

I got a flinch just watching you shoot that cannon man.

[@6Sally5]

Buffalo, I think I speak for most of us…thanks for taking one for the team!

[@14goldmedals]

For those of you starting out with revolvers, any rubber grip that covers the steel back strap is a giant improvement. Getting whacked in the web of your hand by those frame back straps while using anything bigger than 357 Mag will hurt enough to create a flinch.

[@rogerpemberton79]

I put Hogue tamer grips on the 329PD I had and it was still a beast to shoot with full power 44 magnum ammo. I am happy to say that particular gun no longer resides in my collection. My brother in law want a light weight trail gun for bear and other types of threat protection. I sold my 329PD to him. He's happy and so am I. I replaced the 329PD with a 629 Deluxe 3" that is still a handful with full power 44 magnum ammo but much more pleasant to shoot than the 329PD. I would never call anyone a whimp after shooting that gun. I would tell anyone that say your a whimp they need to shoot that gun to have the experience. The 329PD is not a gun that I would just hand to anyone to shoot.

[@fyisense9312]

I have a stainless 629 custom shop 2.625" bbl .44 mag that with the rosewood grips and full house loads will hurt you. The soft grips made a huge difference.

[@rogerpemberton79]

@@fyisense9312 I have a 629 Classic 5", 69 Combat Magnum 4.25", and 69 Combat Magnum 2.75" besides the 629 Deluxe 3". I have Hogue tamer grips for all of them. I also have VZ G10 grips for the 69 Combat Magnum 2.75 that I use for carrying but I carry 44 Spl ammo not 44 magnum.

[@richardjones990]

I almost bought a 329 PD some years ago. My friend carried it while hunting in Alaska. He only fired it one time and then offered it to me. Seems it just about ruined his hand. I wish now that I would have purchased it as he offered it for a great price. I'm looking for one now for a EDC piece. Nice review. I just had to sub to your channel after watching you shoot the beast.

[@GardnerOutdoors]

Thanks for sacrificing yourself to make the video! I really was impressed by you mentioning that a good crimp is needed on the bullets! With factory Magtech ammo in my 329 PD it was pulling out the bullets from the case.. I now crimp factory ammo as well as my reloads on my 329PD. Best regards!

[@iankelly3479]

I have had the same issue with my Charter Arms Bull Dog Pug "new production." The revolver is so light that the bullets creep out of the cases if they are not tightly crimped. And then jam the action of the gun. But they can be pressed back into the cylinder. In an emergency to facilitate function.

[@martindurkin8837]

Those grips are nice but ouch! Beautiful revolver. I see a man with bear paws had the good sense to put on a glove that says it all. Great video as usual.

[@mistercodyful]

Good to see you again! Seems like 44 has come up in popularity lately.

[@john-paulsilke893]

I just wish cowboy or even Special ammo was more cheaply available. Unfortunately you have to roll your own to keep the prices down.

[@noahcount7132]

Thanks for taking the punishment to your shooting hand to make this interesting, entertaining, informative video, Buff! 👍

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Thank you !!

[@adamthomson2873]

Thanks for the review and important information.

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Glad it was helpful!

[@YellowHammer26]

👍👍great video Buffalo. You’re definitely not a whimp, can’t imagine the recoil.

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Thanks!!

[@jeffreylocke8808]

Mine is quad ported by Mag-Na-Port. Changed out the titanium cylinder for a fluted stainless steel 629 cylinder. Hogue 500 S&W rubber recoil absorbing grip to aid recoil impulse mitigation. Much cosmetic changes but only those changes above are to reduce recoil impulse. Love mine.

[@tonyromano6220]

I bet!

[@LongBinh70]

Recoil reminded me of my Charter Arms Bulldog .44 Special I had in the early '70s. Not a magnum, but the gun was like the weight of a .38 Special snub nose. It hurt. Traded it favor of a Ruger Security Six.

[@thomastune776]

You're definitely one of the best shooters I've seen👍

[@carloscarlosio]

Hey, what a cool coincidence, I was at the range today shooting my 329PD. Yeah it's very painful to fire with full power 44 magnum loads. It definitely is a save your life gun. My 329PD, her name is Annie because she is atomic. The grips are very beautiful but they are very hard to shoot. I've replaced the grips with the pacmeyer decelerators and it is more comfortable to shoot. I do conceal carry Annie and load it up with Buffalo bore hardcast wadcutter 44 specials. Another load that I like is the Buffalo bore anti personnel 44 special heavy hollow points.

[@stephenparchewski1998]

That looks amazing…even better than the 629.

[@ironmikehallowween]

I have always wanted one of those. Thanks for the video.

[@TheHappy2cu]

That is a 44 special revolver that just has the ability to shoot magnum rounds. Thanks for the video.

[@northeastkentuckyoutdoors6455]

Very nice revolver, you did a great job shooting it.

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Thank you !

[@lanedexter6303]

Wow. Ouch. That’s a carry much and shoot seldom gun. We used to say that about the Charter Arms .44 Special. I have a .44 Mountain Gun (from the first run, the one they called Mountain Revolver, no writing on the barrel), and I thought that was a killer light .44 when I shot some 320 grain “bear loads.” Pachmayr Grippers help, but not enough. A friend carries a 329PD in a shoulder rig, He admits he doesn’t shoot it often, and it’s much more tolerable with .44 Special loads. But one heck of a niche gun. Great video!👍

[@MichaelKitchen-ol1ss]

You may want to try a Pachmayr Decelerator grips on that gun. Even with the stock rubber grips it can hurt quite a bit but the Decelerator really made a difference. Pricey but worth it.

[@davegrenier1160]

Second that. See my comment made 3 days after yours.

[@emoryzakin2576]

What are the odds, I've spent the last 2 weeks drooling over this model!

[@dougr5379]

I've had a 329PD now for about 13 years and use it mostly as a hiking/hunting revolver. I use 44 spcls in it except for hunting. I have taken 3 deer with it over the years all at 50 yds or less. Not a pleasant revolver to shoot at all with 44 mag, but surprisingly accurate. I've not injured my hand(s) firing this beast, but sure has felt close to it with 240 gr full power 44 mag. I've always kept the wood grips on the gun. Equally as painful is the S&W 340PD 357 mag revolver which I also carry when feather weight full power is required. There is really no reason to carry these scandium/titanium revolvers other than they are so light, you just forget carrying them. As an outdoorsman's revolver, there is nothing better. As a range gun, better off having someone beat your hands with a baseball bat. The end result will be the same. Also forgot to mention the action internals are slightly different than other S&W revolvers. There are some additional parts which lock the cylinder release in place so the cylinder does not unlock with heavy loads. The PD series of revolver are truly outstanding examples of revolver engineering.

[@brianlee6849]

Looks like a great Bear protection for hiking in Bear country . Or a fun plinker for 44 special. Thank you 👍

[@buffalosoutdoors]

It sure is!

[@BWGPEI]

Once was asked to shoot a S&W Mountain Revolver, which was an alloy frame 44 Mag. Owner could not hit anything with it and thought the sights might be out. I took 50 meter pigs with it, passed it back and told him it was perfect. Did not want him to see the tears in my eyes or guess the fire in my arms all the way into my shoulders. Truly, a travesty of a revolver.

[@scottmorgan1016]

I love the revolver but the weight would make me shoot 44 spc. or not full house 44 mag

[@stevenunyabidness]

perceived recoil aside, that thing would shake itself to pieces long before my 69 or 629 lose time.

[@raleighthomas3079]

Not as a personal slam, but I’m pretty sure your hands would give out before that S&W got loose. It probably would take a lot more full house/Buffalo Bore loads than I would care to put through it.

[@stevenunyabidness]

@@raleighthomas3079 as much as i love my s&w wheelguns, i've worked on enough 3 series to wonder why people buy them. if you like em, all the power to ya but steel always wins in terms of toughness regardless of whomever is judging it.

[@billdye3530]

When I saw the gloves I knew it was going to be brutal. Hurt just watching. Gloves do make a difference especially shooting several magnum loads. Appreciate what you do to make great videos. 🙏 👍💥

[@williamnantz5604]

DAMN! Shooting those clays out of the air with that thing was really impressive!

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Thank you !

[@BigD357]

That injury you took to the webbing of your hand is hysterical only because I suffered the exact same experience with a 629PC 2.6" that I used to own. Had the wood secret service grips with no place for the last finger to rest. The 1st time I shot it, I was bleeding in the webbing by the 4th shot. Great video man; it totally took me back! 😂

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Glad you enjoyed it! My hand hurt for about 2 weeks after this! LOL

[@josephmarciano4761]

Am I correct that this piece is intended primarily as a backup in bear country where lightweight carry is paramount? Lugging a stainless 629 around all day could get tiresome. Question: Is it too light? Could you stay on target and get multiple shots off at a angry bear?

[@JuggoJuggo]

I got the 340pd on the way, 11.2 ounce .357 magnum, that might give this thing a run for it's money on pain, probably a bit different pain but pain none the less.

[@davegrenier1160]

I first saw a 329PD on a table at a gun show. I grabbed it and lifted it from the table, and my hand shot up into the air with it! I was not expecting a large, .44 mag revolver to be that light. I had to have one. Now I do have one, and it's my trail gun for defense against bears and mountain lions. (In fact, I carried it today on a five and a half mile hike.) When I shoot it, I'm good for twelve, maybe eighteen rounds before I've had enough. It's VERY unpleasant to shoot. But I figure I'm not going to get into a gunfight with a bear or puma, so I'm willing to deal with the punishment for the level of defensive power it gives me for so little carry weight. Mine came with both the wood and rubberized plastic grips, as seen in the video. The former are very pretty, but aren't suitable for actual shooting (as Buffalo promptly discovered). The latter promptly broke under the stress of the recoil. It now wears Pachmayr rubber grips. and they're just perfect for a gun like this.

[@ammoiscurrency5706]

Do you practice with soft loaded 44 special? I've heard guys swap a 629 steel cylinder into this gun and have been very happy with it.

[@davidmcdonald4771]

I just picked up a Taurus snubby 357. Kicks like a mule but so much fun to fire....

[@robertprall7685]

I started to flinch while you were dry firing it! Great video!

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Thank you!

[@the.original.throwback]

You're a brave man. My 4" 629 ceases to be fun shooting after about 20 rounds. Don't think I would want to try a lighter revolver. Jess

[@mopesrus7266]

I know your pain. I have the Taurus equivalent, the Ultra Light Magnum. It's listed as 28oz. If you've ever used an aluminum bat to swing for the fences only to hit a utility pole during sub-zero temps, repeatedly, that's what your hand feels like after a few cylinders fired from this gun. On the plus side though, it is very light and comfortable while in the woods. It is very accurate. I've taken 3 deer with mine over the years.

[@guardianminifarm8005]

Bless your heart Brother. Thank you for suffering for the cause. I am not sure we should thank the fella that sent you this gun. He is probably trying to find out if you were able to handle this brute. Well you did but not without cost. Lol. I had the 3" 629 for quite some time. I felt it was a bit excessive with recoil. I put the Pachmayr diamond grip on it and my 6" 629 and it has proven to be the best recoil taming grip I have found. I have had around a dozen 44 magnum revolvers (S&W and Ruger) with barrel lengths from 3" to 10 5/8". I would give them serious consideration. Well done as always.

[@grymattr]

I had mine magna ported - made it very easy to shoot once done.

[@slimfire5475]

Nice revolver and some great shooting to Buffalo. My hands are hurting just watching you getting slammed by the 44Mag1 Thanks Slim.

[@Every_Day_Adventure]

Hey Buffalo, It has been a while and is nice to check in and see you out on the range. As always, great video and keep on keeping on.

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Thanks, will do!

[@jeffreylocke8808]

Two-legged predators are good with 44 Special loads and 44 magnum 265 grain Dangerous Game loads for four legged attacks.

[@1947ramrod]

I love the .44 magnum! I have 2 model 29's, one is with 4" barrel, the other is 6 1/2" barrel. there are more powerful revolvers out there but the .44 magnum will get the job done and will cleanly kill anything that needs shooting. The good thing about the .44 mag is that there is a lot of bullet weights available and it can be handloaded to your liking. My favorite load is 12gr of Unique pushing a 200gr JHP bullet. This load is plenty strong for Deer and Hogs and the recoil is tolerable.

[@44Mag]

Great video and superb shooting. And here I thought my .44mag S&W Model 69 with 2.75" barrel had a brutal recoil...This one looks even more radical. (I have not fired anything over 250gr in my 69)

[@edbelledin9600]

Nice gun and very nice shooting. Thank you for taking the time for making this.😊

[@scottwilson5840]

Thanks, everytime I think l what one l just watch a video and come back to my senses, thanks again.

[@terrell48]

Very good Buffalo, you have tamed the beast despite that recoil

[@comiketiger]

Great review. I've been shooting .44 mag all my life and I've never seen anything like this! Wow! A guy could still practice with specials or light loads. When I was living in Colorado I did a lot of hiking, camping bowhunting. Much of the time I carried a 629 classic for the reasons mentioned. It was legal to carry a handgun while bowhunting, yes. This truly would have been a welcome addition. But wow, that was brutal on your hand. To continue shooting after being brutalized is ample proof you are not a wuss....😉😆😉 Great video brother. Thanks for your work. God bless all here.

[@wilstandridge7388]

Thanks for the warning...

[@HETZTED1313]

Thank you for the honest review. I appreciate your hard work.

[@ChristianGrest]

Almost bought one of these...then I got to my senses and picked up a 629 Deluxe 6.5". Love the look of this and if you're carrying it, beneficial to shed all that weight, but man I can only imagine the handful it would be compared to a stainless model. They sure are gorgeous!

[@zachz699]

Yeeeaahhh. My chest holster distributes the weight of my Redhawk 4.2 inch just fine lol, I had to get a pachmayr that covers the backstrap and its almost double the weight of this. Thanks for taking it for the team

[@whizwit215]

[@kathygates8845]

GREAT VIDEO BUFFALO ... !!!!! LOVE THAT GUN ...!!!!!! IT WILL TELL WHO THE BOYS ARE FOR SURE ... !!!!!!!!! DOUBLE G. HERE .. GARY..!!!!!

[@smuckwap]

I had to load down for mine. Full power ammo was making the cylinder turn and jam up. .44 spl ammo works well, but is very hard to find and expensive, so I just load for mine using reduced charges, and that makes it more fun to shoot. I don't mind, because I load most of my .44 ammo anyway, as factory rounds are ridiculously expensive. But the light weight and big punch of this gun makes it particularly nice for the trail, and I would not sell it or trade it.

[@edljnehan2811]

You still are one of the best shots no the best shot I've ever seen on one of these videos.

[@lawrencelewis1036]

What you said about heavy loads Jumping crimp,is exactly right. That gun makes for a excellent weapon in grizzly country, as a back up when hunting elk/moose.

[@flyontop]

That is a gorgeous gun! Best set of lines and size good enough to own just to look at.

[@RocBojovic]

Good test I like three fifty seven magnum

[@Spcwes1]

I am a huge fan of 357 and 44 mag handguns and am very partial to S&W, owning 6 44mags, all 4" barrels or less and 3 357 mags, again with 4" barrels or less. I shoot 44spl powered loads all the way up to underwood and Buffalo bore stuff. I never minded recoil and am accurate and consistent with all of them. I was pumped to purchase the PD and when I held it for the first time I was in love with the look, finish and feel. I went home, jammed some 240gr Underwood thumpers in it, fired all 6, put it back in the box and sold it back to the gun store the next day. To say the recoil this firearm has is brutal is a huge understatement. It is probably 100 times more punishing and uncomfortable to fire with full power loads than a 500 S&W snub nose. This is a ridiculous weapon. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Couple of my buddies love it in a "burn my hand with fire to see the skin bubble" kind of way. More power to them. I see no purpose in a firearm that is a bit more convenient in weight but absolute punishing to shoot.

[@chrisgabbert658]

👍😊 I feel that pain when I shoot my 4 5/8” barrel super Blackhawk but I’ve got boney hands.

[@dandersonjr]

I commented before that I would pass on this gun but I recently bought a 360 PD and now I need it's big brother so it's back on the list.

[@billj5645]

I have a theory that the rubber grip would damage the skin on your thumb worse than the smooth wood grip because it will stick to the skin as the gun tries to move. Gloves might help a little bit but also it helps if you rotate your hand round the grip slightly to move that joint of your thumb left out of line of the recoil of the grip.

[@brandiwynter]

Cool video. Out of curiosity, Tim at Buffalo Bore says not to shoot those "heavy .44 magnum 305 grain" loads out of aluminum or scandium frame revolvers, is that because the scandium frame or the titanium cylinder? I'm thinking about getting a box to try them in my 629 V-Comp since it's a steel frame/cylinder. I've never shot anything but standard 240 grain loads out of it and you've piqued my curiosity.

[@jeffstevens156]

I picked up the S&W 69. It’s the five shot L frame. You can one handed mag dump it. (Cylinder dump). I only put one cylinders worth through it as We had to get home. My best friend did too. We talked about it the next day. Our palms were a little tender to say the least!

[@vvtli808]

I’d like to see you do a “Limitation’s” video with the short barreled version!

[@bobcatforever3485]

Buffalo. Good video as always. Great shooting. Nice gun but a hand killer. I have a little light weight Charter Arms .357, 5-rounds of standard .357 ammo is enough for one setting. Can't imagine doing that with stout .44 Mag rounds and a lightweight gun. Thanks for sharing and take care.

[@jfowler7604]

Good video. Thanks, and glad I saw it. I carry a Kimber 2" .357 (18.5 oz) as a woods gun. I carry a mid range 158/hard cast and it's OK to shoot with that but at magnum velocities, it's no picnic at all. If I decide that the bears are buying kevlar, I might want more power but I'll definitely pass on this beast. Something 'mild' like a 10mm maybe!

[@steveperry3538]

Thanks for taking all that punishment Buffalo. Great looking gun, and I would buy it, but it would be a 44sp. You make awesome videos

[@jontalbert5448]

i put x frame grips on mine. and i had to load down because it did not like my hot redhawk stuff. the cases would stick in the cylinder

[@xtremearmor]

Very nice looking revolver. That revolver sure does have a punch on recoil.

[@wildbill6233]

First things first. We love our Buffalo show!!!! Just don't know why but, I believe I would have to pass on the beating that beautiful .44 would hand out. Can't believe I said that but it is what it is. Glad to see the merch. Definitely got to get my hands on some of that. Thanks for doing what you do Buffalo!! Awesome work on your channel brother. It is far more than what I expected so many years ago. BUFFALO ROCKS

[@northernninety7]

And one of the most painful, especially with the exposed backstrap corner.

[@jackballjohnson3468]

same thing happened to my thumb webbing area. I like the rubber grip a lot more! Thinking of getting the pachmayr grip.

[@miimprovement9332]

Doesn’t the Buffalo Bore website say not to run those 305s through that specific gun? Or is it only the 340s that come with that warning?

[@randyduncan795]

I remember when this came out I had to have one. Owning a 629 saved me. Even a 4" 629 puts the sting in the hand with real 44 mag loads. Those give me yet more appreciation for 357. As far as 454 goes I'd rather have a Casull than a Chevrolet. Might go broke feeding either.

[@ixtirochiavlodlar]

Thank you

[@palerider7171]

Buffalo this reminds me of a Scottish proverb “Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me!”. And no one going to call you a whimp, sir! Give us an update if the owner took his gun back or just said “That’s why I had you shoot it first … no no really I don’t need it back anytime soon, keep it as long as you want, you shoot so well don’t you want one for your collection, I know you can pick one up since it’s left such and impression on you!”

[@brucehayes3573]

I Have a 329PD and yes. it is a little best on the recoil. snappy!!!

[@Tam58851520]

I have a scandium frame S&W Night Guard 2" in 44Mag - My woods gun, nice chest rig. It is brutal to shoot.

[@nhwnhw02]

Smith and Wesson makes a very padded rubber grip for their X-frame revolvers. These same grips fit the 329PD. A good shooting glove really helps. I originally had a Caldwell glove but a day at the range split the glove. Have an all leather glove now which is more durable. Fiocchi 240gr jsp ammunition also helps. Do all three of these things and the 329PD isn't so bad. Still stout but not so painful. Else, it feels just like setting off a firecracker in your hand.

[@willduke1656]

Nice video. That's the kind of 44 I've been looking for. Except maybe in a shorter barrel. Your did some nice shooting with it.

[@dougcobb8114]

Have, 44 subie Alaskan, man gun enjoying shooting

[@EvilBone-Water]

I own the Smith and Wesson Model 69, Five Round .44 magnum, 4 inch barrel. It weight is 36 oz., unloaded. It is very comfortable to shoot with Compression gloves, such as you have on with "Full House" Plus P Bear Loads. It is ok to shot without the gloves for a dozen or so rounds. However, if you are having a range session, with a 50 round box of standard .44 Magnum rounds, wear the gloves. (Speedloaders are available for it.) It is very accurate as well. It is my go to the North Woods Gun for upper Northern New England, were I live. There ares some very healthy 400 pound black bears and 600 plus moose, that are common in my area, where many mountains are found. The large game are most likely, not trying to harm you. However, it is better to have bear spray and a good solid magnum revolver, if they become a threat. P.S. Rumors of Mountain Lions also presist, but until someone is able to bring one, this is still conjecture...

[@samhill3496]

I have three of the first ones. Nightguard and 2 PD's. Pachmayer grips cover the backstrap. The rosewoods are pretty,...pretty painful.

[@stevenclark7070]

Your a better man than I. My 686, 3-5-7 does the same to me. Love the look of the wood grips but not much fun once the blood starts flowing. 😢

[@2Aknight762]

Nutnfancy had the same experience with his 329PD. My 4 inch M29 is bad enough in all steel. Side note, I finally got the 8 shot S&W 627 Pro revolver in 4 inch, outstanding .357 magnum.

[@pistolgrip44mag]

My 6-inch 629-1 punishes my middle finger knuckle on my strong hand enough. (Underneath and slightly behind the trigger guard). Ironically, I have only shot Magnum loads through it. Guess I love the little bit of pain. My Ruger Super Blackhawk does the same thing.

[@anthonylewis2080]

Good demo to an already revered and iconic firearm : don't be surprised if they're in high demand.

[@RickyJr46]

Hogue makes an excellent aftermarket rubber grip that resembles the one supplied by S&W, and it's noticeably better at absorbing recoil. Hogue calls it the Tamer monogrip.

[@Spcwes1]

And Buffalo, I found the hogue and synthetic grips actually tend to hand onto your hands hard when you fire them. I good solid set of wood grips make these much more easy to handle. Let it recoil and just give it direction. The hogues that came with mine would hold onto your hands and give you every ounce of recoil.

[@kylewood8327]

That puppy is a beast, definitely would make a great trail gun.

[@gtopp9619]

You should try the Hogue Tamer grips for the .500 Magnums. When I had my Scandium framed guns, it worked tremedously to dampen recoil. In the immortal words of a former President, "I feel your pain..."

[@edljnehan2811]

That's one of those guns that enthusiastic beginner buys shoots one time and either trades it back or sells it. Either way I don't see them going back to the range for another beating.

[@arf9347]

I have a 44 tracker taurus 4 " barrel that came with porting from the factory that makes shooting it more controllable and more enjoyable to shoot .[ I bought Hoge grips for the tracker model] I also have a ruger stainless 44 with a 10.5 " barrel that I almost sold because it had horrible recoil ,until I had it magna ported.. you probably will want to get that pistol ported.. just my view

[@usmc249]

You are no wimp sir. I’m a huge fan of .44 mag and this one has always been a beautiful look and on my list. Just never had a “need” for her. But I did end up with a 69 2.75in which probably less brutal then this one. Always enjoy close up looks at beautiful guns.

[@kyrozudesoya1829]

Every time you pull the trigger you can hear Nathan Explosion in the distance. "#%@^ing brutal."

Light, for long hikes in bear country and not for extended range practice. I'd definitely put the rubber grips on it, and I'm a fan of beautiful wood grips on revolvers.

[@tylermorrison7051]

A younger friend of mine has one. .44 mag ammo is scarce and expensive, so I only shot two rounds. The recoil wasn't too bad. My friend said he's usually done after one cylinder. I can imagine.
