Revolvers

I RECENTLY SCRATCHED A 40 OR SO YEAR ITCH AND ACQUIRED A S&W 38/44 OUTDOORSMAN, IN REAL GOOD SHAPE, WITH CORRECT BUT NOT MATCHING DIAMOND MAGNA GRIPS, AT A DECENT PRICE. I HAVE OWNED 5" AND 6.5" S&W HEAVY DUTY (FIXED SIGHT) 38/44 REVOLVERS BUT EVENTUALLY MOVED 'em, AND THE ADJUSTABLE SIGHT OUTDOORSMAN JUST KEPT CALLING. I REPLACED THE MAGNA's WITH SOME OLD SCHOOL , REALLY NICE, SAMBAR STAG GRIPS.

BELOW IS A PICTURE OF THE OUTDOORSMAN, THE MAGNA's IT CAME WITH AND A COUPLE OF NICE LAWRENCE HOLSTERS AVAILABLE FOR IT.

RECENT RAINS ARE PREVENTING ME FROM TRYING IT OUT AT MY RANGE ON THE RIO GRANDE. THINKING OF USING 17Xgr SWC's IN IT AND LOOKING FORWARD TO GETTING "er SET UP AND SIGHTED IN. ALTHOUGH I WILL NOT USE IT AS A PRIMARY HUNTING GUN, THIS GUN I JUST GOTTA GIVE SOME FIELD TIME AS A BELT GUN WHEN I AM HUNTING.
