Got this one last week, Webley VI .455 - sorry to get off the S&W line.
(and no I did not put the live rounds in the wheel for the last photo -brass only...)

What a great tread !! I'll introduce 2 small fellows of mine & keep the big ones for later...

Next is my favorite 44, a Model 624 in .44 S&W Special cal. Simply superb balance & handling !! Plus long range accuracy...

Not shown is a 4 inch 29 & a 1958 vintage 6 1/2 (my 200 yds piece)
Johnn, beautifull holster you have there !! Maker ?? Thanks for bringing up THE man responsible for the popularity of the 44 Calibers. Keith has always been my main influence in handguns and is responsible for my interest in long range hangunning. It was a long road for me to duplicate his 44 S&W Spl loadings but I made it...have since backed down...Mk
Yeah...if you like Glocks you won't like all the steel and wood of those beauty revolvers.
I think you may have another fetish as well![]()
I fully agree with NAA. There is nothing like a .44 with light loads. You get a fun feeling that you can't get with pistols. I have a 4" mod 29 and the recoil is quite brutal with full loads.
My custom 5" 29-3 that I bought from Armco is my favourite wheelgun:
