I used to have one when I still used a wheel gun... It was one of the best guns I ever had for concealment, you could tuck it in your back pocket and it was really out of the way.

This weapon looks and sounds like one I would consider carrying off duty.

I bet it's like shooting a mini-cannon

Nice looking weapon and feels great. Apparently a dirtbag choice weapon too, as one tried to pull one on me one time.

This pistol is made for work It is strong and cheap. I do not consider the recoil to be as bad as originally thought. I carry this off duty everywhere. Only two problems I have encountered, Ammo is expensive and not too popular so if you get one stock up on range ammo. I reccommend Winchester silver tips for carry. Second problem is trying to find a decent concealable holster for a southpaw.

I own one of the single/double action .44 Pugs with a shrouded hammer. It is lightweight (19 oz.)
and I use hip grips when utilizing my CCW. The problem is the massive trigger-pull which throws you off target, and is only comfortable firing at the range in single action.
I've had action jobs performed on my other revolvers, but cannot find a gunsmith that will work on this model. I respect their judgement, but would like to hear from others about how they have dealt with this problem!

great back up gun, use to own one

22 ozs? must be something to hold on to. I like it's big brother more...44 mag!

I will be purchasing one of these for my wife.
A simple weapon to keep at home.

This was the weapon of choice of the Son of Sam in NYC when he went on his killing spree back in the early 70's. It has devastating destructive power at close range although it can be a real hand-full for those not familiar with large caliber handguns.
