Finally bought my first restricted

[kyle700]

Went into prophet river looking for scope rings, and walked out with a receipt for this baby, just had to have er.

Cant wait to try er out Monday. My dad used to own a llama 44 so I know what I'm getting into as far as recoil and everything, and I think the long barrel will help with the muzzle climb.

Looks great! Should be a good shooter.

 

[LowPost42]

I'm so glad I'm not the only guy who does that (came in for this, walked out with this, too!)

I'm glad my closest gun shop is an hour a way and that STATTs aren't instantaneous. I'd own a few more handguns.

Nice lookin' revolver!

So, did you at least get the scope rings, too!

 

[jdvass]

Wow! That is sweet. Let us know how she shoots.

You do realize that handguns are very addicting don't you? Your bank account is going to take a beating now.

 

[black sunshine]

well congradulations, hope your happy now .
now yur hooked, you'll alwase be broke buying more more more .. well at least yur first one sure is a big one ...

LOL no they didnt have them in yet!

I realize now that yes, I'll be getting more. Alot more. I kept putting off buying the first one but they explained it to me and its really alot simpler than I thought.

On monday I'll see how she shoots and let you guys know.

 

[kyle700]

well at least yur first one sure is a big one ...

lol go big or go home.

Seriously though I think a Ruger Single Ten or something similar will be next. A little easier on the wallet

 

[SurplusMan]

And to think I thought I would be happy with long guns and didn't need to bother with the restricted since it was such a hassle to use them...oh what a fool I've been.

You getting set up for reloading, or just gonna run factory fodder?

 

[sillymike]

Congratulation! Nice little hand cannon.

 

[Magellann]

Very own nice just bought my first pistol this week.. every one should one for giggles

 

[StoneHorse]

Damn, sillymike beat me to it.
Anyways, congrats on your find. So lets all now start pushing for a return to handgun hunting.

Congratulation! Nice little hand cannon.

Imagine if OP had gone in looking for a scope instead of just rings.

Recoil with such a long barrel will be very manageable.

How good is the balance?

Find my 629 with 8 3/8" barrel very accurate and fun shooting. Other 629 with 7.5" barrel with muzzle kicks way less. Box of factory is no problem. Shooting the shadow right after the 629 is like no recoil, keep suspecting a dude if not hole in the paper.

 

[kyle700]

I'm just getting started with reloading so yes I will definitely reload for this thing.

The balance is a bit farther forward but not so much so that it seems awkward.

I pick it up in the morning, let the addiction begin! Lol

I can strongly recommend the Single Ten. I bought it because the wife wanted it, and I can't help but shoot it whenever I'm at the range. I want a big fan of the cowboy aesthetic, but it's definitely grown on me.

 

[kyle700]

Well it shoots awesome what can I say. Just played with the sights and took some shots at pop cans and a milk jug. The recoil is pretty manageable, box of shells with a few breaks was no problem. Already looking forward to the next one!
