[QUOTE="LBnM, post: 1043982, member: 817"] This, and another recent thread, got me recalling some "good old days" living in Colorado several years ago. At that time my favorite "Woods" and sometimes carry gun was a S&W Mountain Gun in .44 Mag. I rarely carried magnum loads in it even on extended backpacking trips and always felt I would have preferred a true .44 Special or .45 ACP revolver. Not long ago I found one of these recent Smiths and decided I would pick it up to fill a void. This is not mine, but an example. [b][Broken External Image][/b] I'm not taking a photo of mine until I've fixed a few things on it and get some decent leather for it. The "lock" has gotta go and the "plug" will fill the hole. I'm also gonna put a Tyler T-grip on it (I'm old enough to remember Melvin personally). Should make a nice field gun. Then...I started thinking...I carried the Mtn Gun in an IWB holster comfortably and this M22 just weighs four ounces more than my 3" M64 K frame. Maybe I need to get some carry leather also. Anyway, it gives me a project to play with, Maybe I'll occasionally leave the SIGs at home and partner this with my 442. [/QUOTE]
