Why Buy This Revolver?

Notes:
  • Safety Warning: As an unconverted 3-Screw model, carry with an empty chamber under the hammer to prevent accidental discharge if dropped. Use high-quality .44 Magnum or .44 Special ammo; avoid overpressure handloads unless inspected by a gunsmith.
  • Maintenance: Store in a dry environment with light oil (e.g., Ballistol) to preserve bluing. Keep the box separately to avoid damage.
