Hand Cannons Please. What's your Super Mas Macho pistol?

[Barth]

From another post, here is my new-to-me S&W 629-6 Classic 5" .44 mag.

Full under lug, chamfered cylinder and a glass bead blasted satin finish.
very nice gun you will cherish the rest of your life.

Everybody needs a Hand Cannon as part of their collection.

Holy Moly Barth, I thought that the S&W 500 was a monster, but that pistol makes the S&W look like a .38. Here's my 629-4, 629 Classic that will definately be the last pistol I get get rid of. It's more than enough for my needs.

That's the vampire's new gun.
Here's my 38.1 oz 44 mag Mountain Gun with her 11.6 oz 38 342 ti little sister.



BTW shot Speer Short Barrel GDHP +P 135 grain bullets out of the 342 today.
The little girl drew blood at 15 rounds - LOL!
Both eyes open super fast combat shooting into center mass.
This little thing close up is flat deadly.

Seriously? On your hand, I assume. How? How bad?

Just took some skin off the web of my hand.
No biggie.
My Mk40 did the same thing at 200 rounds.
I don’t know if I opened up the MK40 spot. Or the 342 did it all by itself.
I’m thinking it’s my new Eagle Secret Service grips that are biting me under recoil.
I didn’t feel a thing. Just saw the blood.
So I switched to the MK40, kept wiping away the blood and
continued shooting.

It’s like cars I think.
Can’t really work on one without drawing blood.
Now were blood brothers/sisters whatever – LOL!
I’m not changing back to rubber grips though.
Love these things.
I’d rather bleed.

Thanks Barth. I am really proud to own it and have wanted one forever.

It looks like NO FUN! Well, except for Jlottmc, maybe....

Wow, that is a monster. I might like to shoot that like bawanna says just to see if I survive. When I was doing a some gunsmithing, I had a guy come in and want a 45/70 over and under derringer. I almost said yes, but then remembered that I would have to shoot it. I saw the guy years later and asked if he found some one to do it. He said yes. I asked if he had shot it, he got sheepish, and said yes, one round each bbl. That 600 is big. Would I want to fire more than a cylinder full, not just no but HELL no.

Goggles and maybe a helmet would be advised after watching the videos!!

I think one guy might have gotten beaned a bit and I'm sure it happens!

I hate when someone gives an unsuspecting person, ie., wife or girlfriend a gun to "try" and she gets hurt... of course guys do that, too.

You could see these guys knew what they were getting into!

Follow up shots must really be a b!tch!!

I'd want that beast securely fastened to something heavy before I shot that thing. The guy getting beaned looked bigger than me, and the big guy looked about 3 times my size, jeez what a gun. Probably kick me into next week.

So many guns, so little time...Now I want a Python, a Desert Eagle, an Auto Mag and an and an and one of those and..........By the way, someone earlier asked how to prevent getting a drag line on the cylinder of a revolver....What you do from day one out of the box is when you close the cylinder back into the frame you line up a cylinder with the barrel not just close the cylinder anywhere and spin it to the the next to lock up...That is the only time the cylinder stop will ever contact the cylinder between stops and cause that ugly ring...When you kock the gun single action or pull the trigger double action the cylinder stop retracts...

My first handgun, bought after a week of Dirty Harry movies, is a S&W 44 Magnum Moutain Gun (38 oz of Fire Breathing Stainless Steel).

Very nice, indeed. I'll be looking for a .44 Mag in the near term. My PC 627 will suffice for now.

Updated pic of my 629 with new cocobolo Hogue combat grips:

[BEARDOG]

Look's good Les! How do they feel shooting? I just love the rubber Hogue's feel on mine but the wood sure look nice.

[les strat]

Well, it's funny. I took off yesterday, and my wife and I went to the range. She was carrying the .44 on the way out and sat it down on the kitchen table and forgot to pick it back up! We still had a great time getting her more familiar with shooting her little Bersa (although it jammed several times on Federal cheapies). She is deadly at 100 yds. with my Marlin M60 .22!
Anyway, the grips feel almost exacly like the stock rubber Hogues. I am real partial to wood on revolvers, and I will probably use a glove with the .44. They feel awesome, but I'll let you know after this weekend.
