hey!! the 45LC would be cool, but they only offer it in 38/357, 41 mag, 44 mag , and 32/20?, i really likemy smith in 41 mag, i also love my ruger 44 mag rifle, i am kind of torn between mass and velocity if that makes sense, but i want something reasonable and fun to shoot, lets don't even talk about my 10/22's, the one factor i really like about the 38/357 version is the cheap ammo, like a 38sp in a wad-cutter, or if i wanted to reload for it,icould get a pound of red dot and shoot for a while, but i would need to upgrade my old rcbs rock-chucker press with something newlike a dillion progressive loader, hummm, maybe that could be next years X-mas idea,,,,hey sam444 do you have any pet loads for your 444, i have a friend that has one and we have just started working with it, i tell you that is one deer bustin round[:-], lever guns are so neat, well i did sell my ole blr, but thatwas because i was dis-satisfied with the trigger[:@], i love browning, but i believe they could have done a little better with the BLR
