I know some may think it's ugly but Not me.

For those of you who actually like the .44 Special, maybe you'd like to read a story where the hero, if you want to call him that, carries a .44 Special, in this case a 2nd Model Hand ejector with a five inch barrel.

For those of you unfamiliar with Medium, which is probably most of you, it's a place where writers can publish fiction that's unlikely to find its way into the typical angst driven literary journal of today and get paid for doing it. If you do read the story, hit the clap button at the bottom. That tells me that you've read it, and it's always nice to know another shooter is reading my work.
Be careful about exploring Medium. Much of it is liberal political essays. If you comment on a Liberal's bleeding gun control article, the people who run the site will hold you to a standard of decorum that won't be returned when comments are returned on anything you say.
So far I've slipped under the radar and been able to make a little money on stories I call bang-bangs, true life action adventure, and that sort of thing.
Edit: I have no clear idea of what the editorial policy is for advertising your work, but this is no huge commercial venture for me, more of a hobby. To date I've made $11 on this story, which pretty much leaves it on the level of personal entertainment.
If you are in an alder thicket in Alaska working to get to a hole where salmon are schooled up, you want the loud unruly mess of a 44 magnum or bigger in a chest holster along with your can of bear spray or a cylinder bore 12 guage strapped across your back. That is what I bought them for and they do very good service. When I have run into grizzlys fishing I have been fortunate that they acted reasonably, but there is always the first time. The 44 Magnum IS a real gun that I can put six rounds into the black with at 25 yards. It is a tool with pluses and minuses. Just like any other firearm.This thread started with a rant on how OP disliked 44 Special as a cartridge. The solution is for him not to shoot 44 Special...period. Years ago I shot my 1985 vintage 624 in a Bullseye match until I could get a 1911. The revolver did very well in a competition where the self-loader rules. Could I have breezed into that match with a 44 Magnum. Some guru would chime in that 44 Magnum could be down loaded. Right. What's the difference, Another poster has spoken about owning and shooting early model Smith 44 hand ejectors. Check out a New Century Triple lock 44 Special. The cartridge has a long history of service and is not a puny version of a 44 Magnum. How about the comparing to the Special the Magnum. The Magnum is a loud difficult macho uncontrollable mess. Basically, not a real gun since most of the owners cannot control the same. See how dumb these comparisons are?
RIGHT SPOT ON!!!! Somebody knows what the h e double hockeysticks he's talking about! May to November I don't leave the house without my unruly 44 magnum.If you are in an alder thicket in Alaska working to get to a hole where salmon are schooled up, you want the loud unruly mess of a 44 magnum or bigger in a chest holster along with your can of bear spray or a cylinder bore 12 guage strapped across your back.
