I was thinking about that grail question a few weeks ago and decided if some Colts went away there would be room for some S&W's.
So I swapped an extra Woodsman for a Highway Patrolman, like my Dad's (my brother inherited), and my good buddy James Tucker gave me the box, tools & paper.
Then I sold an extra New Service as the down payment for this Model of 1950 .44 Special. I had one years ago and rue the day I let it go in a trade (for a 2cd Model .44 HE & boot), so I found another with a few spots of pitting for about twice the price I paid for the first one...
Now I'm looking at a nickle plated Model 27....
Both of these shoot very well but man-o-man, the 4" .357 is LOUD!!
I guess I'm easier to please than most, but isn't that .44 a Dandy?!? And we are just about the same age.
