S&W 44 Magnum

Post by ian27 » Sat Jan 26, 2008 6:56 am

I went to the range last Saturday, it was bitterly cold. A friend brought his S&W .44 magnum and I got to fire off a few rounds. The revolver originally came with rubber grips and was comfortable enough to shoot as 44 magnums go, but he purchased these wooden ones and its now a whole different ball game to shoot. The grips are quite big and have sharp edges at the bottom. When using a two handed grip the sharp edges dig into your hand upon firing. It really wasnt a pleasant experience.

Believe it or not, my wife likes to fire this one better than any of my others.
