Here's a picture of my Ruger Bisley .475 Linebaugh. I gave John Linebaugh my gun at a Linebaugh Seminar in 08 and he delivered it to me the following year. He passed away last March - one of the greats!
I’ve still got my first centerfire revolver - a Colt Diamondback in .38 Special! Didn’t know much about guns back then but the opening credits in “Brannigan” convinced me to get one!
I finally got my new 44 Auto Mag last summer. I thought I'd posted about my handloads for it but I guess I forgot! Has to have pretty hot loads to function.
