2nd Model 44 Hand Ejector

Range Report on 44 HE

My model 19 may have just been unseated as my favorite piece. Took this 44 to the range today. First target, the shots at the bottom were 6 o'clock hold, single action, rested. Shots towards the middle were double action free hand.

The second target scared me. Free hand, slow single action....Man this is a fun one to shoot.

and I have no idea why the pictures are sideways...

This one shipped in June 1938. It must have been on the back of the shelf and sat for a while....

Enjoy . I'd lose the target grips and find some originals but you need to shoot what you like. Big grips don't fit my hands and I think the older guns look better with old style grips anyway.

Original stocks and a grip adaptor would look cool,but the cokes obviously fit your hand judging by that last target.Great pick up!

SN 36733 letters as shipped November 27, 1933. There were several others shipped in that time frame to Peoria, IL, including the next serial number. If I recall correctly, there were two shipments, about a week apart.

Nice! I have S/N 36483, 6-1/2 inch blue, which Jinks said was shipped in January, 1932, to the Utah Highway Patrol and so factory roll-marked on the backstrap.

Range report attached a few post back. This one makes me look good.
