Have had this old girl for about 20 years. When I get the urge to shoot this one
I take a cold shower. 18,000 range, maybe '59.

Man that thing needs to be shot!!
That is REALLY nice, but I WOULD shoot it. That's just me... I just traded for a first-year S&W 5-screw pre-model number .44, VERY nice condition, but I plan to shoot it as soon as possible.

This is the one I shoot along with a S&W 29-2 4"

A NICE OM 44!
And, if you are shooting the one above, do I read it right that it's a 44 also? If so, that one looks cut down, and a nice plum one too! If a cut down,,, I'd shoot that one & keep the other one pristine!

Thanks all. Yes, the shortie is an old cut down, flat topped Super .44 mag with fluted
cylinder and XR3 red grip frame. Grips come from a new production Blackhawk and
wear black eagle medallions with blued screw hardware. Don't mostly push the payload
of the cartridge with this gun because, like with my .45 3 screw, it tends to put new
creases in my hat. Would probably up the ante in some of the North West states.

You do have a beautiful Ruger there!

Nice plum Super! Looks like a very well loved, personalized revolver.
A great treasure. I understand, as there are a couple like that living here, in their containers near the Hawkeye Girls....Great finds some 30+ years ago when I was living in Tucson............... 8) ..
A cold shower is all that it takes? I would have to put it under many locks. As in a bank deposit box! Nice looking gun!oldies said:Have had this old girl for about 20 years. When I get the urge to shoot this one

Much appreciated. I have a few Rugers that are close enough in caliber and design that I'm ok with just
handling and admiring this one.

Ver crisp looking Flattop. A keeper for sure.

I have that same .44 Flat Top # 29778. If I remember it was a 1960 or 61 vintage. My question to you is this, How does the gun react to shooting since it was cut down? Reason I'm asking I've had another barrel I'm considering cutting it same as yours. I can perform all work the it takes. I just have a hard time cutting that extra barrel. But I'd still have the option of returning it to the way it came.oldies said:This is the one I shoot along with a S&W 29-2 4"

I like the portability and handling, but the recoil with stout loads is insane.
