Have any of ya'll seen or handled FA's new Single shot hunting handgun?

Didn't know they made one?! But since you're reporting it, I'll shoot over to their site and check it out right now!

I'm a huge fan of FA!! My 7 1/2" Premier Grade is easily the finest firearm I own.

Nothing on the Freedom Arms website yet. But found a couple of blogs via google search.

Man, that damned thing is ugly!! But, it has always been my experience that the ugly guns (much like women) are the most reliable.

I have not held one personally. A friend of mine shot one at the Shootist's Holiday and was very impressed. If I remember correctly, they were shooting a 6.5 JDJ.

That thing looks like it took a nose dive out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down........yikes....... May be great, but it sure don't look good......

I would assume that it would have FA's typical fine accuracy, but what I heard about it was that it was very comfortable to shoot [in 375 JDJ compared to some other single shot handguns.

I am not really a single shot handgun kind of guy, even though I did have a Contender in 22 K-Hornet [10" did kill some praire dogs with it], a 7mm TCU, a 30-30, and a 44 Mag, and I did kill an antelope with a 30 Herrett.

I just thought some of you guys might be interested.

Here's some info u might wanna' take a look at--

Go over to specialty pistols website and go to the hunting threads and read about Bob Baker shooting that rig at 600 yds. on rockchucks--good read.

I shot with Bob Baker at Rich Mertz Thousand Yard shoot this yr. in Sundance, WY. U wouldn't believe how well it stacked up to some highly-customized SP's using just the Burris 3-12X, Ball. Plex reticle and Stoney Point turret.

Boy howdy! That makes the Super Commanche look handsome. That said, pretty is as pretty does...I guess.
