I put a Volquortsen target trigger (has adjustment screws to take out the pre and over travel), target sear and it has a Burris Fastfire II mounted to a Tacsol rail. I got the thread barrel version since I recently bought a Sparrow SS suppressor. Just waiting on the tax stamp to get here.

I tested the trigger pull weight a few days ago. it is a hair more than 2 pounds.

My uncle has a Blackhawk and loves it. He is a huge fan of old school style revolvers.

I tried talking him out of it, but he wouldn't budge. He did give me his S&W 500 though. I fired it once, and I never plan to fire it again. Felt like a bomb went off in my hands.

i want the 45lc, 8", blue. so much handgun for the money. if i could only have one handgun, and i probably will once i stop letting nj influence me, that's the one.

ideal for home defense? no. handguns really aren't, anyway.

then again, the o/u isn't either and that's another piece on the wish list.

yeah, the 500 doesn't look like fun to me. the 454 redhawk alaskan looks pretty fun, never tried that either.

I think hand guns are great for home defense. Short shotguns are better, but for close quarters, handguns are great especially the large calibers.

If you like revolvers, you should like my little collection.

maybe if i went to the range frequently, and had one of my own, and handling it was second nature, i'd agree.

i'm probably better off with pepper spray, considering my skill set.

that is so sexy.

It is a lot of steel
