Pat,
I read all those comments on the s and w forums...and I guess they do use 429 ...very nice!!! No idea why they were bashing the gun...far as I'm concerned, it's beautiful and shoots a tried and true cartridge...bashing the 44-40? I'm not sure some of those yahoo's know ballistics, history or how that caliber has planted more men than they can count. I love it. It's going in a beautiful leather holster and will be on my hip!!!
