It's getting near Christmas and you need to consider something different, maybe a new experience. For the combination of size, weight, and power, I don't think anything else compares. A heck of a lot of fun to shoot, light, easy to carry. Loaded with 250gr bullets you (and others) will definitely know when the hammer drops. I liked my Super Blackhawk, but carry was impractical. In fact, most large caliber revolvers are too big and heavy for concealed carry without shoulder harnesses. This is my second purchase from Charter Arms. Very good value.
