Very nice!
Have you shot it or tried to CCW it?
I am in the market for a "big" revolver.
Only requirement is it must have at least 6rds or 357 or 44. Currently leaning toward a Taurus 617 (7rds of 357)
All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.

Have you shot it? Are you kidding LOL!
1000+ rounds (but not with the wood grips)
CCW? Yup. In an Eagle XL Fanny Pack for about 3 years.
(Had to stuff it in up side down - LOL!)

S&W makes the best revolvers in the world - IMHO.
Recommend - S&W Performance Center 627 (8 shot 357)
They have the new night guard series as well - take your pick!

That is one elegant hand cannon! How do you prevent the cylinder drag line? Yours looks perfect!
It would be so nice if something made sense for a change.

I don't know what that is?
Had to look it up.
That pic isn't my gun - but looks almost just like it.
The cylinder is still perfect though.
Mine is a M629-2 Mountain Revolver.
It's all ALL stainless including the hammer and trigger.
Is glass bead blasted for a satin finish that resists scratches.
Plus I had a professional action job and an over travel adjustment screw
put in the trigger. The action is like pure glass.
5 years in storage and I spun the cylinder and it just sang!
I think the all stainless construction with glassy action job and glass bead blasted finish keeps it looking pristine.
Update: Ops, mine does have a drag line...
You know how your girl remains hot in your eyes
even as the years pass by? LOL! Oh well, I love her anyway.

I saw a movie the othernite, "Faster" with Dwayne Johnson AKA The Rock, he had a Ruger Redhawk Alaskan in 454 Casull with 2.5 in barrel. We froze the DVD on a spot where you could read the etching on the gun so we know what it was. You know how Hollywood over does everything, but it sure looked like a hell of a gun. Looked like a hell of a hand cannon to me. It's 6 shooter too. My biggest gun is my 6 inch barrel S$W 629 .44 mag.

HY*NDAI is to cars, what Caracal, Hi-Point, and Jennings is to handguns. The cars may or may not run ok, but the corporation SUCKS.
Love my Ruger hand cannons.
But if I want to just shoot something kind of bad-ass, then out comes Tommy!
Here's my Ruger Bisley in .44 Magnum. It's actually pretty pleasant to shoot
The business end:
