I will have to go back through all the threads and read some more. It was my understanding that metallurgy of the cylinder was faulty and thus weak. I did not read any post about being able to chamber a .44 mag rounds.

The gun is very special to me because it belonged to a man who I respect deeply. He was an pilot in WWII, an engineer, and an all around renaissance man. He taught me how to reload and was just a fine gentleman. I actually sold the gun to him in the early 90's and it still has the paperwork written out by me.

After thinking about it today, I was going to still buy it, just because of the history. I would love to shoot it though.

I will do some more research on this particular model.

Thanks for all the help,

Matt
