I'd agree about the nostalgia. I wouldn't have bought one if it hadn't been for Ruger bringing out the old FlatTop in the original .357 frame size. This configuration hadn't been made since '62 and never in 44 Special. What I didn't realize is how much I'd enjoy it and how accurate it would be. With warm handloads it's "enough" in a size that appeals to me. Plus, I was a Skeeter devotee!!!
