Yeah, I know when the HP was developed. It was popularized by Serpico, sorta in the same fashion of the Model 29 by Dirty Harry. Except Frank was a real cop.
Oh, that's different.
"Never mind."
Slap me silly and call me stupid. I knew about the Model 29, and later the .44 Automag, but I did not know about the Serpico/High Power connection. Now your post makes more sense (as all your posts do.)
I was a wimp and got me a Model 19 Combat Magnum instead.
