When I was late teen or early 20's I was all into revolvers. Finally I had a bit of money and my wants had waned on S&W from previous comparatively impoverished times, and Ruger finally had actually made the Redhawk available. I did have a 1911 but other than S&W M59 9mm there was not all that much available (interesting) back then in the pre-import days. Cowboy stuff was not as popular either.

Roman got his first full time job, along with school, and just had to buy him a pistol. Of all things he ordered a Desert Eagle .50 AE in Burn Bronze. lol Oh well, he at least has lofty goals. He knows it's limitations but can overlook them enjoying wow factor. Even folks totally ignorant to firearms recognize the iconic piece. He must have thought of it long ago as he came up with a big bag of brass he scammed at HHC! I'm going to let him load his own, buy his own H110, and source bullets. Since it's gas operated cast bullets are not suited as is the Polygonal bore that is a bit more difficult to fill up. Maybe a gas check would help and paint coating? A few would not hurt. I see nominal performance is a 325 gr. at 1400 fps. I'd buy a box of bullets just to see if a painted cast GC at the same loading would pick up 100 fps? That would be satisfying.

I don't try too hard to influence his tastes, who am I anyway? Notions of Custom wheelguns seemingly fall on deaf ears so far. Perhaps that will come with age and time. After all, Pops has all of those sweet rigs he can play with anyway. He thinks he has it all figured out.
