I've seen that happen when the sync screws are way off. You might try adjusting them some and see if the idle will come down.

I never had the .44 mag but did have a .444. That was a heck of a brush buster.

When I was in high school in NE Texas, I worked for a store named Gibson's Discount Center. I worked in sporting goods and sold a lot of guns. I think I was a junior or senior when I bought my grandfather a brand new 552 Speedmaster for his birthday. He loved that gun. Hoped I would get it when he passed away but have no idea what became of it.

Last but not least, the one gun I have never owned but have always wanted to. The Colt Python. I had a nickel Trooper MK III but have never owned the Python. I still hope to one of these days. Even better would be the Anaconda in .44 Mag but they are no longer made and used ones are out of my range. The Python is being produced again though and I plan to have one at some point. I do have a Ruger Match Grade GP100 but it doesn't do it for me nearly as much as the Python.

For concealed carry, I don't have a picture handy but I would say it's my SIG P365. Small, high capacity, easy to conceal.

For home defense, I have a couple. My old Stevens Model 311 Double 12 gauge suffices for a shotgun though I would like to add a nice pump. For handgun, I have several but may favorite is the Kimber .45 with the crimson trace.

For handgun hunting, my favorite was the Ruger Super Blackhawk .44 mag. Mine had buffalo grips and I had a holster very similar to the same one that I have for the .22. I don't remember but I think it had the 6" barrel which was fine for my use. No pictures of it. Met the same fate as the International and the first Single Six.

Rifle was fairly easy for me. Though there are a couple others that I really liked, the International stands out as may favorite. Handguns? That's a different story. I have different favorites for different uses. I guess that may all time favorite for plinking is the Ruger Single Six with the interchangeable .22/.22 mag cylinders. I had one years ago that met the same fate as my International. I finally replaced it a few years ago. My original was blued but the new one is stainless. I love it for plinking. Cheap, accurate and just a lot of fun.

There are several that I could choose but for a rifle, it had to be the Ruger International chambered in .308. I've always loved the .308 caliber and absolutely loved the looks of the International. It was also a compact gun which made it easy to handle in the East Texas brush where I usually hunted. Went through a divorce in the early 90s and by the time I got everything ironed out and went back to get my gun collection, the ex-wife and sold them all. I never replaced it and though no longer made, you can find them on the used market. The fact is though, I don't deer hunter any more and have no use for it except nostalgia and will likely never buy another one. This is the gun but not the one that I had. I have no pictures of them from that time. Mine had a 2 x 7 compact Leopold on it as well as a sling and for me, was the perfect all around combination.

Funny but he makes some fairly decent points. Real men don't wear fanny packs though.,
