Likely in .44 Bull Dog, S&W, Russian, or something else in that size that escapes my immediate recall. <br /><br />StrangerStrangerhttp://extranosalley.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-12391589042595394372012-04-29T10:37:37.151-04:002012-04-29T10:37:37.151-04:00It's a beauty either way!
