Big-Bore Boomers "Show-N-Tell"

[Magnum314]

Ok...so I did some searches and didn't find "exactly" this, so I hope this is ok. Mod's if this should be deleted due to my poor attempt at searching, my apologies. But I thought it would be fun to see those big boomers out there! I am talking large caliber, lots of steel, large bore handguns. Can be either revolver or semi-auto, although I assume we will get more pics of revolvers. And yes, the beloved and venerable Colt SAA in 45 Colt counts! (They are just too dang pretty to leave out and they ARE after all, one of the original "big bore" handguns.) I'll start out with some of my favorites, all of which just happen to be single actions! Shocker!

Alright, here's my Ruger Redhawk in .44 Magnum. Never thought I'd want that powerful a handgun, but now I love it! Presently, it sports some very boring Pachmayr grips, but they sure are a lot more comfortable than these beautiful a factory wood grips. Shame I can't find LPP anywhere - 2020 was NOT a good year to start reloading a new caliber.

Wish I still had my 8” s&w 500 I think I need a short barreled one to scratch that itch again.......

I have a Smith model 29 with a 2" barrel and smooth cylinder. I need to find someone to restore it back to pretty. It was nasty when I found it.

It sure is fun to lob hot loads through though.

Couple of my Big Bores. The DE Was somewhat of a impulse buy. Its a fun range toy. I could think of better ways to spend that cash now.

And FOR SURE, always wanted a DE...never pulled the trigger...but I sure should have! What caliber did you go with?

I love the long barrel smiths. I have a 7.5" 629 Stealth Hunter I'll have to drag out for a photo shoot at some point.
