RE: gun dreams
It is one of my "fun guns" and since I bought it just to say I owned a .44 mag I decided to get it in nickel plate. I occasionally carry it while hunting deer (that is legal here) if I am wearing heavy clothing and can keep it under my coat where it will not spook the animals.

Single action pistols are extremely durable, with few moving parts and the ones that do move are fairly robust. In these big calibers they make excellent survival guns for noncombat situations. A cast bullet in 240 grain weight will punch a hole through a bunny with minimal damage or splinter the skull of a steer and drop it in its tracks.

The big brass case is also able to hold an impressive charge of BP and remain a contender in the hunting field or as a defense tool after the smokeless ammo has run out, if called to do so.

Revolvers in big calibers were the first choice as survival guns on every frontier of the world in the late 1800s, from the American west to the Russian taiga, to the African savanna. As long as black powder ruled so did the big bore handguns.

Most fun to shoot goes to other specimens in my employ. As I have stated, I do not show my whole collection on the internet,

Just enough to win.
