I never noticed that the flat top has a rounded trigger guard, before. Normally, the Super Blackhawk with the 7.5" bbl has
a square-backed, Dragoon style trigger guard, as suggested by Elmer Keith to Bill Ruger. My 5.5" bbl has the rounded trigger guard. Quote:

My Flat Top was made to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Ruger flat top .44 Magnum. It's a copy of the original Flat Top except for the 3 screws.

I want my half hour back. That was a futile exercise in mental masturbation. I have taken moose with a .44Mag and try not to use the .357 on anything larger than hawg. A .357 has failed to perform for me against a pitt bull. That was when I 'up-armored' to my beloved StarPD. Even if you load them with same-weight projectiles, to the same velocities, you're not comparing apples to apples. The .44 has almost a 50% greater frontal area than the .357 so terminal ballistics are nowhere close.
The 'Mystic Knight of the Sea' says he thought the man's hands took a thumping. I just don't find the .44 that 'abusive'. And I'm old. He only shot about 20-24 .44 rounds from what I recall. Heck, I shoot bowling-pins with a 4" M-29, and even did one match with my Mountain Gun. My scores went down, but it was a hoot. I shoot 240gr at 1350fps for about a 1/2 ton of energy. cerberus |

Ian from InRangeTV was asked a question about Paul Harrel’s meat targets. His answer was some lame shit about he was too good for meat targets and never watched Paul Harrel.
I like their mud tests but they are quite the cocksuckers some times.

Ruger should offer a .50 Special revolver. I want to shoot 400 grain flat nose bullets at 650 fps. A 4 inch scandium frame version would be great for bear.
The .50 special has a shorter case than a .510 Linebaugh, allowing a shorter cylinder and smaller frame. The Bowen version is nice but takes 2 years and is expensive. http://bowenclassicarms.com/workshop.html
