Analysis

This single-action revolver in .44-40 Win caliber offers a compelling blend of historical design and practical performance. Its accuracy is noteworthy, delivering consistent groupings at moderate ranges when paired with quality ammunition. The grip design enhances ergonomics, providing a comfortable hold that aids in control during extended shooting sessions. Reliability is a strong suit, with smooth operation and minimal malfunctions under proper care. However, maintenance can be demanding, as the traditional mechanism requires regular cleaning to prevent buildup affecting performance. Parts availability may pose challenges, especially for less common repairs, potentially leading to delays. The trigger pull is crisp, averaging around 3.5 pounds, which supports precise shot placement. Felt recoil is moderate, manageable for most shooters, though those sensitive to kick might find it noticeable with hotter loads. Overall, it’s a solid choice for enthusiasts valuing heritage and functionality.
