Been looking for a deal on a used Freedom Arms 44 Mag for a while and found this one online on another gun forum. Wasn't really looking for a 10 incher but it was such a great deal I couldn't refuse. We have since bonded. smile

Very nice, Ben! I'll bet it will put 'em all in an inch at 50 yards, too.

Freedom Arms revolvers are honest to goodness works of art. I hope to own one some day, congrats on your find!

Thanks guys. The vast majority of Freedom Arms revolvers are in 454 Casull caliber and it's not conducive to a lot of shooting, just too punishing to be pleasurable. I reload my own ammo and shoot quite a lot, almost exclusively with cast lead bullets. I target shoot for pleasure and I love the 44 Mag caliber. It's so very versatile for the reloader.

here's your gun's little brother. It's one of my favorite guns.


it's a 4-1/4 mdl 97 in 44 spcl. it likes 255gr keith bullets at ~1180. my other load is a 270 gr WFN at ~1150.

my only complaint is the factory front sight is a bit wide for my tastes. on the short barrel, it tends to fill up the rear sight. i have plans to get Clements to make me one of his front sights in .100" width.

congratulations on your FA!

Congrats on s fine revolver, Freedom Arms are top of the line. A friend has one in 454 that gets mostly a diet of 45LC
