RB frame strength

[splitnock]

I keep hearing how stong the frames are on the Rugers and the freedom arms, but how does the RB 44 mag compare?

I havent been able to break mine yet.  I would shoot the same out of my RB that I would shoot out of a ruger or a FA in .454.

I wouldn't say that about any other Taurus in any other caliber, but I'm impressed with the RB.

I have 3 raging Bulls, 44 mag , 454casull and one in 500 smith. these are well built Guns!!!!!!

These are the guys who I would really take it from though:

IT IS ALSO RECOMMENDED FOR THE GARY REEDER 5-SHOT ULTIMATE 44 MAGNUM, AND THE JOHN GALLAGHER CUSTOM LONG-CYLINDER RUGER SINGLE-ACTIONS. THIS  AMMO SHOULD BE FIRED ONLY IN THOSE RECOMMENDED REVOLVERS!
