They'll call you Dirty Harry.


I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.

Got one. Pretty awesome gun, but pretty purpose specific gun. If you want a hunting hand gun or a collectors item or if you just enjoy big bore revolvers.

It's not something most folks just shoot for fun, and they are too big for a practical carry piece, but if you enjoy guns like that, yeah they are very nice.

Look above the cylinder release and some have a hole for a key. It locks the action so it can't be fired. Many folks don't like that lock.

No...The only problems I have heard of were internet lore...I have never experienced any issues nor have I known anyone personally that has. The thing I don't like about them are the MIM parts and the fact the mainspring stirrup is not attached to the hammer and the trigger lever and hand spring are not attached to the trigger. The stirrup, lever and spring don't really affect reliability, they are jut manufacturing corners they cut to reduce cost and it creates more parts to keep up with when working on them

I had one once - it was a very nice 44. Wish I still had it, but I did very well when I traded it so all-in-all no regrets. It did, however, have one of the smoothest triggers I've ever pulled. Kudos to whoever did that trigger job.

Here's the one I had.

I carry a post lock 638 on a regular basis. Several hundred standard pressure and +p loads through mine and I've never experienced a problem.

The only problem I've EVER had was with Hornady critical defense ammo. The little rubber tip stuck out of the front of the cylinder and rubbed on the frame. It was so tight, it prevented the cylinder from turning when trying to fire DA.

I shot them up by loading one cartridge at a time.
