The big snake is a beauty, and I was able to find a box of 44 special and a box of 44 mag, but in Cowboy action loads. They wouldn't be howling mad loads, which with my Arthritis, I didn't need. The seller, wanted me to complete my Trio and knew that I wouldn't be Dirty Harry, carrying the gun as my daily carry.
I did want to shoot the gun, however, and slipped down to the range today, but didn't drag out a bunch of targets and frames since it was just a Familiarization Firing. I wanted to see how she shot.I fired 12 rounds standing with two hands with the 44 special, and then followed up with 12 rounds of 44 mag. All rounds were fired from 20 yards at the Steel b27 target, and I fired six in the head with the 44 special the other eighteen into the center mass of the body. Nary a miss.
The pic below shows the hits, they are the brightest lead on the steel. I didn't attempt to shoot for groups, I fired double action, shooting smoothly as the sights came on target. When the weather improves, I will shoot for accuracy, setting up targets on target frames. I might buy some actual "Magnum" loads just to see how the gal roars.

With a couple speedloaders, she might be a nice backup for my car gun on a long trip.
