    Red dot

    I don't go smaller than a 6 or 8 MOA on dot size for a carry weapon

    454 Casull

    you will not void rugers warranty using 45 colt ammo in your gun, but if you don't thoroughly clean your chambers after shooting 45 colt ammo you can experience extraction problems and the crud ring will raise pressures as the longer 454 round expands to release the bullet.

    New to me, Model 29-5 Classic!

    I've owned my 29-5 7in. classic 30 yrs cylinder throats are .4285 tight for sure jacketed bullets were their only concern, not cast, your gun most likely has a hard carbon build up in the cylinder from shooting 44 specials and does cause difficult ejection.
