Hey , you handled one. What did you think Buddy? Pictures are one thing, handling one is another.
Your Honest Opinion of it?
I ask because I am seriously considering one!

It was indeed nice. Without writing a review, I'd say that S&W is likely more than a little worried. I didn't evaluate deeply, as I wasn't seriously interested. It was a blem, but it wasn't identifiable.

A different cartridge would definitely increase my interest.

It wouldn't surprise me if it's not still there. I'll check it out.

I would love to get my hands on one of these with all 7 barrels. There is one such set on Gunbroker right now, but I can't afford the probably 3k it will take to meet the reserve right now.... Plus hopefully with these new ones coming out the full set will eventually be available in a new gun for less than that.

Yep, Like .44 Magnum! That would "Make My Day"!

Or 454 Casull.

That would definitely get my attention.
