I bet that's a sweetheart of a 44 Magnum to shoot.

Congrats on a beauty !

My brother just picked up one of these the other day and I got a chance to shoot it. It shoots great, what a nice gun.
I love the plow handle grip frame, 5.5bbl and the fluted cylinder. IMO Ruger hit it out of the park with this one.

Looks nice. For those uneducated folks amongst us, namely me, what is the difference between the SBH grip frame and the Hunter? Other than the square back trigger guard. Does the Hunter have the SBH length grip panels minus the square back?

You got it right. Same length and grips as square trigger guard. The hunter grip frames can be hard to find.

Thanks. Funny, I've been shooting a late 80's 5.5" SBH with the round guard and never noticed that the grip panels were smaller than the square back SS 7.5" SBH I have. Then again, my heaviest loads are fired in the 7.5".

I like the fact that Armybrat's is SS. Nice job.

Just put some "Bonded Ivory" grip panels on from Altamont - they feel & look like the real thing, not plastic:

Being bonded ivory, they should age to a nice yellowish/gold.

The 454 stopped my watch the first time I fired it. With 260 grainers, it's dead on at 15 yards (about a 1.5", 3 shot group=that's all I can shoot before I start flinching)
