Thanks guys! I'll try and answer all the questions. It is conversion done by Mag-Na-Port. You can read about it in the on line version of the Handgun Hunt Magazine on this web site. It started life as a Ruger Super Blackhawk .44 mag with a 7 1/2" barrel. Between working 2 jobs, a wife on midnights and 2 small kids I have not shot it since picking it up yesterday afternoon. Hopefully on my next day off which will be Wednesday. Kral any time your in my neck of the woods your welcome to come over and we'll go shoot it.

Thanks for the invite! Actually, I may be up there on a pheasant hunt in late November. I may have to give you a ring.
