Just ordered a .44 Spl Flattop...and its All. Your. Fault.

[Teddydogno1]

I've been looking at these for a while on Gunbroker and have really like .44 Special guns for a long time. But actually BUYING one is All. Your. Fault. Ruger Forum, you are to blame. I found this forum when seeking some info regarding a possible problem with my OM .357 (which was returned to me by a prospective buyer). But then you started feeding my desire. And showed me the Bisley-gripped Lipsey guns. And showed me where to find one for a reasonable price. I hate you all. : )

I currently have 4 Ruger single-actions, though I've owned a couple of others.

--Old Model .357 w/ 5 1/2" barrel
--Old Model .41 Mag w/ 4 5/8" barrel
--Old Model .44 Mag SBH w/ 7 1/2" barrel
--New Model .22 Single Six. Has "cancer" and a non-matched .22 WMR cylinder. I bought this really cheap when working at a gunshop because the right side and most of the cylinder are heavily pitted from bad storage. I buffed off the rest of the bluing on the cylinder to make a sort-of "Pinto".

I'm known as an enabler,,, just ask my most recent victim,, Kevin.
We call the disease "Rugeritis".
I have it bad & do NOT want a cure.
PS; The only way to get any comfort is to buy more Rugers.

I hope you don't expect us to feel guilty for spreading our disease. :wink:

I just picked up mine last week. I have got to say the quality of fit and finish on mine is just outstanding. The only thing I found was that although the grips fit very well on the front and back of the backstrap they are about 1/16" short and the bottom of the grip frame stands proud. That said, I am making a set of grips for it anyway. I had them roughed out two weeks ago.
A .430 (measured exactly) cast bullet just slips into the throats with light thumb pressure and the bore is as slick as glass. It should be a great little shooter.
Enjoy yours!

Yep, you'll like it. I shoot my plow handle .44Spec more than the Bisley... But I like them both. Enjoy!

Here is a family portrait of my .44Specs .... More enabling ....

Hmm. Nice! But I think the little fella is loaded.

I've had more .44 Specials in the past, but right now it'll just be the BH and a S&W Triple Lock.

Of course it is.... It's the home and CC revolver.

Teddy, there's a method to our madness: each one you buy is one we don't.

Here's hoping you'll find a steel wheel discarded on the other side of the canyon - like we did one fine morning. My son and i have spent hundreds of 200grainers ringing that wheel from a good 75-100 yards with my lone 4 5/8" 44SPL FT. It is a staple of any hike in that draw.

Consider your purchase as a "first", never an "only".

 

[BearStopper]

You will be wanting others for sure. Like maybe the S&W 24-3 4" which is also known as a 1950 Target in 44 special. That and my Ruger are my two favorite shooters in my large arsenal. Pure Sweetness! Enjoy your new baby.
