44 Magnum Birthday!
I just wanted to wish the 44 Magnum a happy 65th birthday! It was introduced today in 1956, and is not even considering retirement.
I'd get my pre-29 a cake, but I know what it would do with the frosting, and I'm *not* cleaning up that mess. 
Somewhere, Elmer is smiling.

Happy Birthday 44 Magnum. You can get full social security now.
I think I will get out my 629 and fondle it sometime today.

Happy Birthday 44, Yipppeee
My first revolver a 29-3 some 32 years ago, shot it two weeks ago.
Got another 29-3 six months ago. Looking for another.
Love that versatile round!

The cartridge and I share the same birth year. It is two months my elder. I had a Model 29-2 for a couple of decades longer than I should have before I let and English professor talk me out of it.

A couple “Irish Twins”
These two .44’s were a little late to the party but...They’ve enjoyed being in their ‘60’s none-the-less!
* 6.5” 5-screw S160387 Jun 11, 1956 - Jurek Bros, Greenfield, Ma
* 4” 4-screw S198820 “not listed in Company Records”

Possibly a wee bit stale by now, but I'd still have a piece. (then head to urgent care)

I'd be surprised if my brother didn't get a piece of that cake.

My 29-2 celebrated its 57th birthday on January 14.
I shot it for the very first time on the 16th of this month.
I should have taken it out two days earlier.

It probably needed the days to recover from the birthday party.
