You are without a doubt a lucky so and so.
Now as to the sandwich..remind me NOT to go to lunch with ya!!
You did good!
I finally got my Smith 41 mag..and I was about as lucky as you. I found a guy selling a 657 in 3" with a bunch of accessories. Turns out it was one of ol Lew Horton's specials and is the only 3 inch 657 made. Still rather have a regular ol Blue 57 though.. But it is a pretty good shooter. Let us know how that Ruger shoots sometime soon. I really like the 44 Spec. I've gotta go look at your site and check out the 41 Spec write up you did.
Hey while I'm thinkin on it. If you shoot cast bullets would you prefer gas checked or plain base...in either the 44 Spec or 41 mag?? Lookin at a mould for the 41 right now.
