Yep!  And I'm really liking it; although what's there not to like if one hasn't fired it yet; I like the looks, flips good, cocks just fine even on the flip, trigger pull seems nice.  Those are some things to like.  Will not flip it loaded.  Noooooo!  

Firing it will come soon with Hornady 300 gr. 44 mags.

In that case, it won't be so "heartfelt' in the bigger pistol.  In theory.

But still, WOW!

The .400 mag was all the gun shop had.  I have looked into the 700 gr. but so far that all I've done with that, is look.    :)
