Thanks Mike116, Mike 45D, Mick and Hawg!! It feels good in the hand for sure. I haven't shot .44 cartridge in many moons. An old friend had a Super Red Hawk Ruger or something like that and it was a LOUD booger. It was mighty fun whatever it was. I have no idea what to expect with this here gun. Ashamed to say but I'm sure I will flinch? I appreciate your comments and any other comments you might want to add.
