...for a .44mag double action revolver. Not exactly sure why, but do you really need a reason? I'm not really well versed on revolvers, I know enough to get by without embarrassing myself, but I think it would be fun to get into them a bit, and having a friend with the stuff to reload .44mag doesn't hurt either. Plus it seems to be a relatively forgiving caliber to cut my teeth on for rolling my own. (Not gonna short-cycle a revolver with a light load after all...)
Any suggestions for a decent gun that's not going to break the bank? Looking more for a duty sized gun, not a little snubby or a long hunting piece.

Meh?
Trying to think of something to write, but I just can't think of much at the moment. Lots of little disconnected thoughts bouncing around my head, varying from hopeful daydreaming to mild frustrations. Need more coffee I guess.
Did go to the range this morning with Cro, burned off a few hundred rounds of .22lr, and a few mags of .45acp. Nothing serious, just stress relief after a couple weeks of playing army with our respective units. It's kinda sucky wearing the uniforms and messing around with the guns doing "army stuff" and not actually shooting things, especially when you're gunnies like us.
(On a side note, it's amazing how many people we've run into in the Army who genuinely are not gun people. I know LE tends to be the same way, but I can kind of see that. For a cop, his gun is ideally the last thing he's going to use in his daily job, but for a soldier, we'll not so much. Yet there's still guys in the military that don't fully grasp how an M16 works. Not that it's hard to understand, but they just don't take the time.)
On the up side, the shop just called, and my wheel's done. That'll make this next week go by faster I hope.
