Or anyone else who has owned both.
John, I was curious on your thoughts of a Colt New Frontier vs a flat top .44 ruger. I’ve never owned a NF but picked up a 7-1/2” Flat Top .44 recently. I will fully admit to not being a big 44 magnum guy, so it will probably get shot with closer to 45 colt level loads or with some 44 special loads I have had luck with so far. My only mold is a 429421 Keith mold and it shoots well when I do my part.

Not JT nor do I play him on TV 
Not a 44 mag fan in the least bit BUT a 7 1/2" Ruger Flattop in 44 Mag is on my bucket list as in No. 2 position, Patton's SAA is No. 1, hey a guy can dream.
Growing up reading Skeeter Skelton and his stories involving said flattop is why it's on my list.

That was the mai reason I bought this flat top 44. And, I knew the seller from previous deals and his price just kept dropping and dropping to the point where I couldn’t say no! I e shot it a little with full power, Keith loads and it is not pleasant! I’m low on unique so I couldn’t try the standard Skeeter load, but I have shot it a decent bit with W231 in 44 special brass and it shoots well and is fun to shoot. And, it’s a very nicely made handgu with enough wear I ca shoot it and enjoy it without worrying about messing it up!
