The entire point of the post was to praise the gun, and to explain how cool it has become to me, even though it shines in no particular area. I think a lot of it is looks, mystique, and history as some have mentioned. Plus, Patton called his Registered Magnum of that length his "killing gun", what better endorsement can you have than that? The newer 8 shot sounds intriguing, does it have an internal lock?

Oh for the good old days when you could send an order to the Factory and get EXACTLY what you want.
And not only did they build it for you, just ten days after getting the order, the Vice President of the company acknowledged your order with a nice letter.
The BEST Part.....the revolver only cost
$48. OK that was in 1935 dollars
You might not know this, but I happen to be a Patton fan and agree that is a pretty COOL endorsement.
Yes the new Registered Magnums are fitted with locks.
