I have owned 5 of them now only 3. The M24 4" I let go had a tool mark in the barrel and leaded
badly. The Colt SAA went during a divorce. I now have a M21 4"; M624 4"; and a M24 6 1/2".
To replace the Short M24 I just got a new M29-10 with the 4" barrel. Elmer Keith, Skeeter Skelton, John Taffin and others sang the praises of the 44 Spcl long and hard. Needless to say, they are fun to shoot, kick less than the 44 Magnum; easier to carry and short of a close cuddle with a Grizzly will do 95% of what any of us require. The Keith loads were hard kickers before our current Heavy Bullet and 1/2" bore diameter diameter craze. A 100 year old cartridge that is well balanced, accurate, and comes in some really neat packages leaves little for us to want for. Sorry no pictures, my M21 and the new M29 are out of the Classic series and have helped me scratch the 44 itch again.
