Gentlemen, thanks for the kind comments regarding my 24-3 4" 44 special. As I told Matt in an e-mail it was pure dumb luck. I've always had a hankering for a revolver in 44 special. Last summer from the same dealer I got a 624 6.5"bbl 44 special. Now going into summer I got this 24-3 4". Got a couple 44 caliber moulds somewhere but in the meantime will seek out maybe a couple boxes of lead bullet 44 ammo. Shot my last 50rd box of federal lead bullet in a tricked out 44 magnum. I must say that the photography of the members here is as good as the revolvers they take pictures of, its just that good. You guys really made my day. Thanks again, Frank
