Just bought my first Handi! Got a used 158 pardner receiver with a 44 mag barrel, everything looks good and locks up like it should just alittle nervous about not having heard of this combo on Greybeard. Real excited about shooting with 44 specials, have a 29 lite, (charter bulldog) and the handi will make the perfect combo, at least till the next one comes along. Thanks for input and I will report on first outing!
