I had one in '69 with a 6 inch barrel It taught me how to shoot M.Silhouette.
Alas, a max load load from the Speer manual caused a slight bulge in one cylinder. It didn't show on the outside, but extraction was harder. Shortly thereafter, I bought the TDE 44 AutoMag and t he S&W M27-2 with 8 3/8 arrel The Automag really knocked own those 200 Yd Rams with a decent hit The M-27 did good with the 100 yard matches, and was easier on the hand.
