Hello all, just wanted to share with you I will be getting my first 44 Mag hopefully by the end of the week, I bought it off someone over in california and waiting for it to be shipped to my FFL dealer, I do have one pic of it, its a 7.5" barrel
Welcome!
I have the indentical gun in 41 mag, and I love it. I'm primarily a Single Action freak, but I wanted a 41 and this used one came my way, so..... And I am very glad I got it.
Mine also came to me with Pachmayr grips, similar to yours, I think, but I replaced them with stock wood ones. I just like the look of the wood much better, and the finger grooves on the rubber were not 'spaced' correctly for my hand. I don't think the wood grips are any harder to shoot; the recoil from the gun is not really that much. I also have wood, (my own handmade ones) on my 44 SBH Hunter, and again, I don't think rubber is necessary for recoil absorption.
Again, welcome to the forum, and enjoy that beautiful Ruger!!
