So I have pretty much given up on my search for a model 29. Maybe some day if a killer deal comes along but for now a nice one is just out of my price range.
Anyway a good friend of mine let me shoot his Blackhawk in 45 colt the other night and with his rather warm handloads, that thing had some decent horse power. For some reason he is not a fan of the 44 mag and says he can get 44 mag performance out of his handloads. He cast his own bullets and all so I figure if I can pick up a decent Blackhawk for half of what I was seeing for a decent 29 go for, I’ll just go for the 45.
I also see some decent prices on the super blackhawks in 44. I kinda dig the old single action design to be honest. My purpose will be mostly shooting light target loads and if Maryland ever allows strait walled center fire in shotgun counties for deer. What do you wheelgun guys think?
