NICE 4 diget flattop 8) yep need those gloves shooting the old .44 flattops,esp. with that Keith 300 grain load--first time I shot that BEAR load was about 20 years ago in a shooter flattop "bout' done me in :!:
 
Very nice! I'm a big fan of the flattop .44s, always think I need one more. My two shooter flattop .44s have steel XR3-RED gripframes on them - however, I don't find the old XR3 frame uncomfortable to shoot, I just have big hands and need a little more grip area.

I like your grips. Despite Patton's comment from years ago, I think pearl grips can be quite attractive. They look good on your .44.
