My younger brother bought one in 44 Mag back around 1990. By the time he was halfway through the second magazine, his shots were hitting the dirt between the target and himself, and getting farther down with each successive shot. I and the middle brother both already had experience with hoglegs (my Contender and his Redhawk), so we were able to shoot it pretty well, but he developed such a bad flinch that he couldn’t shoot it. So, off he goes back to the store and traded it in on a Dan Wesson revolver in 445 SuperMag and a Browning BuckMark. I know, I don’t get it either, but there it is. I ended up buying the revolver from him some years later, and have since added a 4″ barrel.

I can’t justify owning one, but it’s still cool.

I know 3 people who own that gun, and every one of them have fired probably less than 50 rounds through it, in the 30+ years they have owned it.

They buy it, put a few magazines through it, and back in the case it goes…
