The unloved non-magnum Curr that found a home.

I had passed it over for a month! Every trip I could see invisible $100 bills lying all in front of the display case. Finally I could not stand it. It has served its purpose for a while. “What’s a .44 SPECIAL?”, “That’s NOT a .44 Magnum, it won’t shoot .44 Magnums?”, “That’s not a 6” barrel?”. Scores of the young and uneducated (in sixgun knowledge) have given it a glance. None likely ever heard of Keith or even heard of the two Elmers, Fud was the other, now outlawed. No one for at least a month wanted it, they had their chance.

No matter that some goober (I would have done it too) absconded with the $200 S&W original target stocks that once adorned this 624 no dash. But I have a line on this VietNam dude that makes replicas that are convincing enough I bet Mr. T might not catch it at first glance, for $60 or so! I have no idea what he makes them out of, old pallets or what, but they are fine looking. I’m going to be sourcing a pair before they go away.

This is more of what I call a “Shootist’s” handgun. You’d really have to load your own ammo to truly enjoy it as intended. Maybe even cast your own slugs with square lube grooves not rounded backed grease slots. Lol SO Merry Christmas to me. I’m happy as a clam. I note this has the longer rear sight with a square tip, not rounded and oddly it is factory tapped with three holes under the sight through the topstrap for the factory standard S&W hole spacing. How naughty!
