I got this in 2008. Gary had posted it here but no one grabbed it for a week or so, so I did. It was in an article in Combat Handguns by Gary Johnston when it was a 44 Mag. When Gary got it back he rechambered to 429 GNR. There's also another Ultimate 44 prototype, a S&W that I think Gary made before the Ruger and then he decided to stay with the Ruger. I took a hog with this gun at the 2008 HHC and a cow elk at the 2009 HHC.
