Never liked the .44 Mag cartridge. Started reloading and shooting my uncles 57 with a 8.375" bbl. Owned a 57 and 657 both 6" when I finally got a 58 seen here. Taking this one overseas to Germany for 2 tours (wish I could have it here in the sandbox). Also have a 14" TC and a Marlin 1894S. My normal load is a 215 LSWC behind 7.5-8 gr Unique and Winchester 175 STHPs. Need to locate a set of wood Combat grips for it someday whenever I get home.
Had a second 58 with a slow barrel (always 100fps slower) and a gunsmith friend of mine wanted a fixed sighted .44 Mag. He did his magic between my 58 and a 29. I later sold that one.
