Clint of course, we can shoot on my farm. I wouldn't have bought if I couldn't step out on the porch and fire a gun.
Sure we can pops some caps at the Moon Tree Gathering.
I have a .44 S&W 626 with a 4 1/2 in barrel that I inherited from my grandfather. Since my pinched nerve last year I can't shoot it with hunting loads. It sends a severe pain shooting from my hand up through my shoulder.
I was concerned that the .357 might do the same thing. But shooting .38 light defense loads, it kicks about like my .22 mag. And shooting 180 grain hunting loads it's just slightly more than my .380 LCP. The LCP kicks a bit because it's so small. It's a pleasure to shoot. After shooting the Blackhawk with the western style grip, I'm thinking maybe I could handle a Super Blackhawk .44. The S&W grip force the impact straight back while the Ruger grip allows the it to "roll" up. Clint and Seabass bring them to Moon Tree. I'd like to give the Super Blackhawk a try.
DGF, I love Ruger handguns. I own a Mark III, a LCP and now the Blackhawk right now. I've had 8 or 10 more in the past. All were great guns. As far as leather, I think I'm going with a cheap nylon bandoleer style (or I might make one) for hunting. I think that would work best in a tree stand. But, I'll be getting a cowboy holster for everyday use. I would make that holster, but I don't have the patience to make the belt with bullet loops. And, I want the color of the holster and the belt to match.
