OMG!! I think I've become a "Revolver Guy"

I got to try a S&W 17 Combat Masterpiece on Sunday and I see how you fellas develop a fondness for them. Ive never really considered a wheelgun before but I think at least one is in my future.
 
Hilarious! Just the right gun for feral hog hunting in Texas. I have only handled these once in my local shop -- Goble's. Larger than life, and a tempting buy.

I have owned wheelguns for 44 yrs and bought my first .45 3 yrs ago. They are fun but picking up brass sucks big time. I have a few .44's and one is the Ruger Super Redhawk with the 9 1/2'' barrel, big gun for sure. Last week a package came to my door, and it was a box. Iwas expecting a revolver but the box was huge. When I opened the box I almost sh!t myself. It was a BFR in 45/70 with a 10 1/2'' barrel I was staring at in disbelief, IT WAS HUGE!!!! Now I can actually say I now know what a HAND CANNON looks like lol..
 
I can shoot 5-6" groups with my semi auto pistol at 25 yards, shooting carefully, but I can put 6 in the bullseye with my 6" barreled GP-100 (with smooth light modified trigger, and shooting .38s in single action)...and my 4.2" SP-101 can shoot 4" groups...so the extra accuracy appeals to me too. Not to mention that sweet spinning cylinder...lol! :)
