Big iron owners check in

[Rclark]

NOTHING says Big Iron like a Walker.

Yep! I don't have a horse to carry mine, so it doesn't get out to often! Plus it is tiring to shoot even with two hands!

Here is my Walker and the 'final' iteration of the Colt as a reference:

One thing about big iron owners is they tend to be very accurate, calm, and deliberate shooters. That don't mean they're slow on target. It does mean they make every shot count.

I thought this was about Big Iron, not medium-iron, so .357 I'll leave for another discussion ...

I've got some Large Iron scattered about. Sad thing is, I almost never shoot them any longer, unless someone asks, "do you have a .44 I could try?" Many more of my .44's and .45's have gone down the road.





.44 Flattop...




.44 Supers, 3-3/4" and 4-5/8" ...





.45 ACP Birdshead, 3-3/4" (bottom photo)





629 (bottom photo)

Ok, but how about a little bit of steel?

My favorite rig, only .357, but 8 shots to make up for its small caliber.
