Well, aside from an old Pietta 1860 BP replica pistol that is.
Traded from the original owner (still had a copy of the bill of sale from last year). For $800 worth of trade consideration on a deuce and a half. So, how'd I do for a first revolver? 
Might see if Wally world has a box of .500 SW on the shelf tomorrow. I can't imagine there's too terrible much clamor for that kind of ammo. |

Elephant gun.
Honestly, when you said $800 I thought to myself: "this better be one good revolver" Then I saw the photo.

Post 2 re-look.
Judging by the lack of cylinder wear and a little soot on the forcing cone, the previous owner got 5 shots out of it and called it quits. |

Case had a bill of sale behind the foam from the gunstore he bought it from about 10 months ago. NIB purchase at that time. I probably won't keep it, though I am curious to see how it shoots. Need to do some research and see what the absolute most powder puff commercial loads are for it. |

If you're happy, so am I. But I'm not huge on .44 mag in a revolver. I'm guessing I wouldn't like a .500.

I have no desire to own or even fire one of those things. Y'all got a rhino problem down there?

Most of the commercial ammo is pretty wimpy.
700-grain loads are fun to shoot. 
I have some Doubletap 350-grain loads that chrono'd over 1900 fps. That's 3000 ft-lbs of energy. From a handgun. And, of course, it makes flashy-flashy, too...

Man, my first revolver was a 686.
I'll get a Ruger or S&W in .44 mag someday but that's as much as I'm willing to put up with, recoil wise. |
