Recommendations for a new revolver

Blackhawk

I would get Blackhawk or SuperBlackhawk in the caliber & barrel lenth that works best for you. I agree with Texasfirearmfan on that one. Have fired many, many weapons in my life, Blackhawks are my favorite by far. You can shoot em and shoot em and keep on shooting them....:cool:
 
Probably one of the most versatile revolvers I've ever seen is the 627 Performance Center. Load up the .357 as hot as you can handle and it still won't hurt the gun. Load down the .38s to powder puff levels and shoot some insanely accurate target groups. Not to mention you get an additional 2 rounds for a capacity of 8. Closest thing in current production to fit and feel of a Python. The 5" barrel is a great compromise in my opinion to the muzzle-heavy 6" models and general purpose 4" barrels. Add the fact that you can get an optic mount that fits the rear sight groove, you can add an option without adding the additional weight and, IMO gaudy look of a Weaver base. I use mine for everything from speed shooting on a dueling tree, to target shooting, to hunting.

Without a doubt, my Taurus 431 is my all time favorite trail gun. In the .44 Special, it is a great compromise in power between the awesome .357 and .44 magnums and a little more versatile. I can carry either Corbon or Hornady 180 gr. XTP's for penetration, Gold Dot 200's for defense, and CCI #9 shot for other vermin. It's 3" bbl. is just right for packing, and its medium 5 shot frame is actually lighter than most large frame .357's.:cool: I tried to post my pic, but evidently they don't want them any more!

My vote would be a Ruger Blackhawk 45 long colt convertible. I would go with the 4 5/8 barrel. Perfect revolver for reloading and will handle hogs and dear. I like the option of the extra cylinder for 45s.

Good luck,
Howard
 
I really like the idea of the Blackhawk .45 convertible. I'd like to see what the accuracy is like. I wonder what the actual bore is...
