Yep, Old Elmer was great. I remember his articles and his book, "Hell, I was there", was great also. I simply love the accuracy of the .44 special, I can shoot the center out of targets with it all day long, and hit long range targets as well. Regardless of new calibers that have come along, the .44 special is still great.

In fact, Elmer used the .44 to push for the .44 mag cartridge.

Kinda expensive to shoot, but heap big fun!

Both Elmer & Skeeter were right about .44 Specials! I foolishly let go a S&W 1950 Target .44 Special because it had a 6” bbl but that puppy would sure shoot. My second mistake was letting someone talk me out of a Ruger Flattop 4 5/8” and that was the best packing gun ever. I’ve had all the big mags, Pythons, .45 Autos but thinking on sending Colt a bunch of $$$ for a NF but haven’t decided between 44/45. Of course, 4 3/4” bbl while waiting on WilsonCombat to make my 10mm Hunter. All input on the NC will be appreciated. Thanks
