This particular model features an 8.38-inch barrel with a heavy, solid rib for improved accuracy. The stainless steel finish provides corrosion resistance, which is important in Alaska’s damp climate. The black rubber grips offer a secure hold, even with gloves. It also includes a floating firing pin and a transfer bar safety.
This revolver isn’t lightweight at 57 ounces, but that weight helps absorb recoil from the .44 Magnum round. The adjustable rear sight allows you to fine-tune your point of impact at different ranges – useful for getting dialed in at the range or zeroing for longer shots in the field.
