What grips are those?

The grips are by Eagle, but are slightly too large for my average hands. I am thinking of trying the Ahrends brand.

Sonny - If you are still interested in trying the Ahrends, let me know. Have some that are too small for my fat fingers.

9 gr Unique and 255 gr Lyman Semi wad cutter in 44 mag case chrono's @ 975fps out of my 629-1 with 3" bbl and 1050fps out of my 29-5 with 7.5" bbl. Its a ***** cat in the longer barrel, getting on the viscious side in the short bbl.

With a snubbie I would go with 9-10 grains of Universal.
Power Pistol powder would be a good one to try too.
