Yea - It is about time - now I can look at buying something other than a Ruger in a revolver.

I hope there triggers are as nice as the pre lock ones were, I had a model 19 with 2 1/2” bbl for a lot of years as my carry gun and loved it, traded it off to a friend in 2010 with the understanding that if he ever sells it I still got first dibs on it. Mine was from the late 60’s early 70’s I believe.

The 458 Win did a great job on my buff last year in Zim. I used a 450 grain Aframe that preformed perfectly. It was the first and only animal I have shot with the rifle, to date.

I would happily use it again. However, it is at the max of what I am comfortable shooting recoil wise and that is the only draw back for me. My 458 is lighter than my 404 and 416 which I am sure contributes to the recoil of this particular rifle. It is just less fun to practice with is all.

Funny these first two posts were the first think I thought too lol

That news about the locks will be welcomed by pistoleros everywhere as a step in the right direction. Next we will want to hear that S&W has returned to making barrels in the traditional way.

I wonder if those have the firing pin in the frame or the old style hammer nose.
If they would make a 5” 27 without the lock I would stand in line for one.

I wonder if Colt releasing all the revolvers, they have over the past few years has put a damper on their sales.
