Danny,

I've been thinking about a couple SB1 frames sitting in the safe.
I'm leaning towards a 357 though.
But I might do a 44 also. ::)

Danny, it's part of the disease, you'll not get over it.  My .445 is about to shrink to 18 inches as is my .500 S&W.

I am old enough that i cannot shoot a pistol(eyes)as good as i used to.This short gun is almost as "Handi"as a pistol and the shotgun scope makes it "fast" for me.I think anyone that tries one will like it.Its not a long range gun,however at short to medium range it will do the job.Also I just like short guns!!!!

Pictures as soon as my girlchild returns with the camera.Thinking 445,have to shoot the little beast first.Also thinking about a set of walnut stocks,and maybe a matching barrel in .357Herrett? I guess I am gettin the fever again(only have 2 now,used to have 6 handies).Always wanted a 357H and should work good in a 17in barrel. Danny
