Caliber? Wha do you plan to do with your custom?

I have three customs built by Jack Huntington, and I am exceedingly happy. I will post a picture of a friend's Huntington built .475 Linebaugh built on a Blackhawk frame.......

nothing wrong with a custom 44 mag. Ive got a few of them Personaly i think a flutted cylinder looks better on a 6 shot gun and in 5.5 inch i prefer a barrel banded round barrel to a octagon but in a 4 5/8s or 4 inch gun an octagon is really sharp. But thats just my opinion and you have to buy what you like the looks of.

An octagon is going to be heavier than a round barrel. If it was me, I'd swap the cost of an octagon for a custom cylinder so it can shoot any length 44 ammo.

There are aftermarket sights available but the name escapes me....maybe Belt Mountain???
The alloy frame cannot be casehardened but steel frames are available
