Beware all Bears!

[Barth]

Everyone should own at least 1 large caliber magnum revolver

True, but I've been "downsizing" since my old wrists can't take much of that .44 Magnum beating anymore.
Gave my S&W Model 29 to oldest son last Christmas and this Super BH to #2 son:

I'm in the dwindling hands and wrist department too, so far I haven't been able to separate myself from the big bores.
My oldest already has a couple of his own, youngest will get some when he wants.
Course they'll get them all when they nail the lid shut. Wife refuses to go with my plans and use them all for packing in the box.

No joke, an officer here the other day suggested I build my own coffin. He figured I could build little storage compartment and racks for rifles, ammo etc.
Not a bad idea when I ponder it. Might have to use a fork lift for a pall bearer but that's not a bad thing.
Maybe put a little filler tube on top and fill the whole deal with ballistol or something. Wait, I'll have to seal up all the ammo good, don't want to oil the ammo?

I've had this SBH for awhile but the short barrel just never looked right to me. Nothing like Armybrat's #2. Or this Redhawk. It's a comfortable shooter though...what with the Bisley grip and all...

Especially iffn' a bear breaks into your home.

Not a "fan" of large frame DA revolvers. I admire them, but they don't good fit my smaller hands. Single Actions work big bore much better/quite well for me, tho.

I too like a good looking SA. But I really don't shoot them much. I practiced drawing and dry firing and I missed the hammer too often to feel confident drawing on that bear breaking into the house. Thus the Redhawk. Same operation as all my carry guns = draw and shoot.

I was born a 100 years too late. I never had a problem thumbing a hammer. If a revolver has a hammer I'll thumb it most every time.

I didn't used to have a problem with thumbing S/A hammers....but with aging, smaller hands I've discovered it's become an issue. As I ponder my upcoming .45 Vaquero custom project I'm seriously considering going with the Bisley hammer as even the SBH flat spur has become a bit of a reach.

That's been cut down, hasn't it? What's the barrel length?

It’s a Lipsey’s edition. 3.5 inches. Bisley grip and hammer. I agree that the Bisley hammer might be good for your project. It’s a comfortable reach. But I miss it anyways. I’d be one dead cowboy if I was born 100 years ago.

Now yall got me worried some. I best go home and thumb bust a bit. My thumbs are pretty much the worst of my digits. Double jointed and bothersome.
I don't recall no issue playing with my Uberti not long ago though.

Be a sad day when I cry when I pull a hammer. I might need a transplant....................full body.
