They are great little guns. They were made in two versions. I've never really shot my hammerless model on target at 25 yards but the AS version is DARN accurate. It is my killing gun for around the farm. If a goat or something fairly large has to be killed, that's the gun I go get.

But that is too much money. I paid $206 for one of mine new and $175 on gunbroker for the other one used.

.44 Special is a wonderful caliber. Buy the Blazers and it won't be so expensive even though you get Gold Dot bullets. And start reloading!!!

I carry a .44 Special ever day but it is the S&W M296 in the picture. Much lighter gun (18.5 oz). The 720's are solid steel. About like a K frame. Too much for a pocket!
