I am itching to take it out for a spin but alas I got home too late today!!
According to Ruger, it's a 1970 gun.
My guess is that I did OK on the purchase. My out-the-door was about $460...I have not seen too many this low for a while. I rate the gun at Very Good. It's got a few minor blems, but it's a shooter and that's why I bought it.
I have a couple questions.
1) Can I shoot about any .44 Mag load I find in the normal reloading guides in this gun?
2) Are "Ruger"/Contender loads approved in this gun?
3) Can this gun handle .44 Specials? If so, do they need to be "Keith" type to make the gun function?
4) Anything I should know about the gun?
Thanks. I'll try to get a pic or two tomorrow when I shoot it...right now I'm pinching myself after stumbling into this critter and finally getting one home.
