new ccw/dual purpose gun

[dakotasin]

picked up my new 480 ruger today... super red hawk, 7.5" barrel. looks like lots of fun. hope to have time to run a few off tomorrow... it makes my full size 1911 look - well, small.

and for the ccw... no, i'm not kidding... at least not as far as tomorrow goes. i will be ccw'ing this gun tomorrow, w/ a scope on it. hehehe... 'tis a heavy beast, but i sure am not gonna let the gun outta my sight while we are in the big city tomorrow (gotta get the scope for it). after tomorrow i seriously doubt i'll ever try to pull that off again. but, it should be fun for a day! (wife wants to go shopping ... i'm sure it will be an all-day affair... there is hope, though... one of the gunshops has an indoor range - might be able to get out of shopping for an hour or 2 )

anybody have any experience w/ a 480 or 454 casull, or similiar that would like to share some tips on how to touch 20 or 30 rounds off without pain?

CCW'ing a 7½" Super Redhawk???

Obviously, you're using Thunderwear, no?

lol...no, no thunderware. would probably work out better if i had some, though.

i'll be ccw'ing a 7.5" super redhawk for an hour or so...after that, i'll be ccw'ing a 7.5" super redhawk w/ a scope! lol - i can't wait!

actually, i'll be using winter in s.d., a heavy flannel, and a shoulder holster. should blend together nicely. and, i seriously doubt i'll print. i also have serious doubts about my comfort later in the day...

and some people think you need a 2" 5-shot titanium snub... pshaw.

Hope you have a good chiropractor! That is going to be one heavy rig. I have a Super Redhawk, 44, 7 1/2 inch barrel. No scope yet, but it eventually will have one!
