    I dont have one but I wish I did. When I started an interest in firearms, I really only liked the Semi-Auto's. I am now changing my mind about revolvers. Im really starting to like them. That firearm looks awesome.

    I do, and I love it. For shooting paper, go with 44special. It's quite pleasant to shoot with 44spl. Did you find a holster? I saw a nylon holster, but it has velcro holding the strap. Galco makes a holster for Ruger, and a company called simply rugged makes a pancake holster. I haven't bought one yet, I'm keeping an eye out. Have you shot it yet?

    Mine is great! Particularly with 44special. 44mag isn't that bad, but it gives your wrists a bit of a jolt. Rudy, I recommend buying a box of each, and see what you think. Also, if you find a good holster, please let me know.

    I will get a box of each to try them out.went to walmart today to get some ammo for it. ended up getting a bunch of blazer brass for the 45 acp 10 .97 a box couldent pass that up. but i did get one box of winchester supreme plainum tips. just to have.

    as for the holster. i think I'm going to have my father in law make me a holster for it. he does leather work occasionally.
    I'm thinking of a pancake holster that can be worn on the strong side as well as a cross draw.her is some of his work.
