Long before Dirty Harry was The Executioner book series. The Automag was the signature pistol of the series hero, Mack Bolan a.k.a. AndyC.
A .44 Automag also featured prominently in a comic book series from 1975 "The Warlord". From Wikipedia

"Vietnam War veteran SR-71 pilot Travis Morgan passed through a hole in the Earth's crust while flying over the north pole in 1969[13] and landed in the underground world of Skartaris, a place strongly reminiscent of Edgar Rice Burroughs's Pellucidar. There Travis, wielding his .44 AutoMag pistol and joined by Shamballah's Princess (later Queen) Tara, a scantily dressed savage, became The Warlord and fought villains such as the evil sorcerer Deimos as well as various kings"

It was a pretty good series. and an Automag looked mighty good in a sword and sorcery setting.

Yea, fills the voids. I've seen Turquoise used as well.

Thank you!

I understand that that is a blue liquid epoxy resin which fills voids in wood - often used to make pretty dining-room tables.

It's a handful; I was pretty tired after 50 rounds.
Holy fireball batman. That looks like fun. I was laughing at the lady flinching every time you shot.

The video reminded me of shooting in the Wednesday Night Pistol Matches when I was a teenager. NRA bullseye, one-handed slow, timed, and rapid fire. Most of us were shooting .22's, a couple of guys used .38 Specials with wadcutters.

One man, though, insisted on shooting .357 Magnum loads. Even on an outdoor range, that can be a bit distracting in the next bay. Crack, crack, BOOM, BOOM, crack ...

I considered shooting a match with my .36 Navy blackpowder revolver in a bay upwind of his. Cooler heads prevailed.

i think the lady actually laughed a bit or smiled, she jumped then you could see a slight smile.
