I've been lusting after this thing since it was first announced. I try and swing into SS&S a couple times a month, hoping they have one in stock.
I've recently taken up hiking, and I'm just SURE this is the PERFECT hiking handgun.

Naw, The perfect hiking handgun is the G20 with a 15 rnd mag :wink:
Seriously though Micheal, That is a nice one, I've always have had an intrest in the .41 Mag. Just never could find one I could afford.
Thats a sharp looking gun!
Not bad, your going to pay for the light weight.
I'll take my 657 with 6" barrel 8)
...it's still not as punishing as a 329PD.
SS&S finally has one in stock.
$739.99....
Anyone know the details of their lay-away plan?

Update 12/27 -- it's still there...
Mike
Any thoughts on the wooden stocks (grips) -vs- the rubber ones?
The backstrap is exposed on both anyway.
I've read some theories that the rubber just gives it a running start before it hits you...?
Mike
To me when the backstrap is exposed it feels the same on my hand, the rubber just gives me a better grip (feel).
I finally got to shoot it.
It's a MAGNUM.
Whew!
Shot about 50rds. It was really windy -- so much so, that it blew away one box of ammo!
:shock:
Actually, I found most of the cartridges, but still.
Tried a few factory loads. Winchester 175gr Silvertips. PMC 210gr. Buffalo Bore 170gr and I think the 230gr Buffalo Bore SWC. Also some Speer 210gr Gold-Dot. And my 200gr HP handloads w/6gr of titeGROUP.
As suspected, the 175gr Winchester was the mildest factory load. I haven't run any of them over the Chrony yet.
Shot 1 rd of the Buffalo Bore "heavy" 230gr. Just one. I
Somewhere along the line, it "bit" me and pulled a chunk of skin off my strong-hand thumb. Or maybe it bilstered and popped. Also got a blister on my support-hand.
It is light though...
