Great gun, and thanks for the link to the Scapegoat Mtn. story.
Any more threads like this, and I'll be hunting up a .44 Spl. too.

I really like that Outdoorsman and especially that ivory front sight. I was tempted to add one to my old shooter Outdoorsman but wouldn'y quite know how. But boy that one you have would probably do wonders on whitetail with a stout loud of 2400 and a good cast SWC.

Some threads are educational. Some threads are entertaining.
This one is both! I love the gun, the link, and the banter.

I think that the only way I am ever going to be able own a pre-war N frame is to buy a nice Outdoorsman in 38 special. The 357's are too expensive but a really nice Outdoorsman comes along every once in a while for a great price! Very entertaining thread. One of the reasons I like this site so much!!

Aircrewman,
Your thinkin right, right thar...I could go with either one of these.
I'm torn as to lengthen the chambers of the Outdoorsman to accommodate the longer .357, Mabee someday soon.

I hate to revive this old thread (well not really looking at these guns) but faced with three months of downtime I have been thinking of ideas, but I could not cut my Outdoorsman down since I kind of like the barrel length as is, but now might be the time for getting the front sight done.

Good to revive this thread. Who knows? Maybe 'nuestro amigo Dave' has whipped up a holster for the 5" OD?

Dave,
That's a particularly pleasing combination of barrel length and front sight on that Outdoorsman. It's giving me ideas..... I've got an Outdoorsman that's already had the .357 treatment. Thanks very much for the post!

I believe I enjoy your yarn as much as your guns. Thanks for putting it down in verse.

Keith you sure have a way with words, you should write a book and your revolvers are first class. Thanks for sharing pardner. Ron.
