Back when I was much younger, when the 1st "Dirty Harry" movie came out-I just had to have a big handgun. I saved for a few months and bought a 44 Magnum Ruger Super Blackhawk with the 10 1/2 inch barrel. I have wondered if they make a conceal holster for it. To most, it is very intimidating. I know there are a lot larger handguns out there today, but in the '70's it was the king. Many years ago, I found some 300 gr. hollow point slugs, had a friend reload 100 rounds for me. That's my home defense!
